36. 2-imine zirconocene structure is reasonable to explain the synthesis of 7a,b, the formation of this intermediate in the preparation of 5b is more questionable, as it has been demonstrated that it is possible to displace a titanium metal center from its unreduced imine group by addition of external ligands, see ref 3c,d.
37. It is of interest to note that addition of HCl on 5b does not give 7b.
