While (η 4 ‐butadiene)zirconocene and ‐hafnocene do not react with Pt(PPh 3 ) 2 (CO) 2 ( 2 ) in toluene solution at room temperature, cp 2 Zr(η 4 ‐C 4 H 6 ) ( 1a : cp = η 5 ‐C 5 H 5 ; 1b : cp = η 5 ‐C 5 H 4 CH 3 ) reacts with cis ‐Pt(C 6 F 5 ) 2 L(CO) ( 3 : L = CO; 5 : L = P i Pr 3 ) under similar conditions to give the metallacyclic Fischer‐type carbene complexes ( 4 : L = CO; 6 : L = P i Pr 3 ). When L = CO, isomerization takes place by UV irradiation ( cis ‐ 4 ⇌ trans ‐ 4 ) presumably as the result of a dissociative CO scrambling process. This is not observed when L = P i Pr 3 .
