Abstract

Zirconium coordination chemistry continues to be extensively explored, leading to over a thousand reports of new zirconium complexes since 2003. Diversity in potential ligands, ranging in coordination modes from η1 to η8, provide a wealth of possibilities for the synthesis of new zirconium complexes. Prior to 2003, the primary focus for the study of zirconium coordination compounds was to identify viable catalysts for alkene polymerization. Because polymerization catalysis has continued to fuel this field, zirconocene complexes have seen the most rapid evolution. Between catalysis, synthesis, stoichiometric reactions, and materials applications, zirconium coordination complexes have intrigued scientists for decades and will continue to do so for decades to come.
