Di-μ-sulfido-bis­{[rac-1,2-bis­(η(5)-4,5,6,7-tetra­hydro­inden-1-yl)ethane]­zirconium(IV)} toluene monosolvate

The title dimeric zirconium complex, [Zr(2)(C(20)H(24))(2)S(2)]·C(7)H(8), was obtained from the reaction of (ebthi)Zr(η(2)-Me(3)Si–C(2)–SiMe(3)) [ebthi is rac-1,2-bis­(η(5)-4,5,6,7-tetra­hydro­inden-1-yl)ethane] and S=C=N-ada (ada = adamantan-1-yl) along with the formation of the isonitrile C N-ada. Each Zr(IV) atom is coordinated by the sterically hindered ebthi ligand and two μ-sulfide ligands in a strongly distorted tetra­hedral geometry. The [ZrS](2) unit is almost planar (mean deviation from the best plane of the four atoms = 0.025 Å). A –CH(2)—CH(2)– group in one ebthi ligand was disordered over two sites, with refined occupancy factors of 0.551 (6) and 0.449 (6). The asymmetric unit also contains a toluene solvent mol­ecule.
