Abstract: The title compound, [Zr(C₅H₅)₂Cl(C₂₀H₂₄N)], is the second example of an enamido zirconocene to be crystallographically characterized. The geometry about nitrogen is planar, but the orientation of the aryl and vinyl substituents indicates that the nitrogen lone pair is not conjugated with their -systems. These features are attributed to the steric bulk of the complex.
