Asymmetrically-bound pyrrolide-based bis-PNP pincer complexes of zirconium and hafnium have been formed. The [κ2-PNPPh][κ3-PNPPh]MCl2 species are in direct contrast to previous zirconium PNP pincer complexes. The pincer ligands are fluxional in their binding and the energy barrier for exchange has been approximated using VT-NMR spectroscopy and the result validated by DFT calculations.
