22. The small amount of proligand 2c isolated was sufficient to explore its metalation and coordination onto Zr, which eventually turned out unsuccessful (vide infra). Optimization of the synthesis of this compound, e.g., using protocol D, was therefore not further investigated.

The latter species, being highly electrophilic, appeared to be at least 2 times more active in propylene polymerization than the corresponding metallocenium monocations; see: Zhang, Y.; Chen, E.
