With the intent of generating metallocavitands isostructural to species [(CpZr)3(μ³-O)(μ²-OH)3(KO,O,μ²-O2C(R))3]+, the reaction of Cp*2ZrCl2 and Cp*ZrCl3 with phenylcarboxylic acids was carried out. Depending on the reaction conditions, five new complexes were obtained, which consisted of Cp*2ZrCl(K²-OOCPh) (1), (Cp*ZrCl(K²-OOCPh))2(μ-K²-OOCPh)2 (2), [(Cp*Zr(K²-OOCPh))2(μ-K²-OOCPh)2(μ²-OH)2]·Et2O (3·Et2O), [[Cp*ZrCl2](μ-Cl)(μ-OH)(μ-O2CC6H5)[Cp*Zr]]2(μ-O2CC6H5)2 (4), and [Cp*ZrCl4][(Cp*Zr)3(K2-OOC(C6H4Br)3(μ3-O)(μ2-Cl)2(μ2-OH)] [5]+[Cp*ZrCl4]-. The structural characterization of the five complexes was carried out. Species 3·Et2O exhibits host-guest properties where the diethyl ether molecule is included in a cavity formed by two carboxylate moieties. The secondary interactions between the cavity and the diethyl ether molecule affect the structural parameters of the complex, as demonstrated be the comparison of the density functional theory models for 3 and 3·Et2O. Species 5 was shown to be isostructural to the [(CpZr)3(μ³-O)(μ²-OH)3(KO,O,μ²-O2C(R))3]+ metallocavitands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
