title: Facile synthetic access to multisubstituted benz[f]indenones and their application as ligands to the first synthesis of group(IV) metallocene complexes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A very efficient method for the synthesis of benz[f]indenone derivatives was developed. This method allows the introduction of a variety of substituents to a molecule. The first zirconocene compound of benz[f]indene was synthesized.
