The reaction of [ZrCl 4 (dppe)] with Mg(CH 3 ) 2 gives [Zr(CH 3 ) 4 (dppe)].

Question:

The reaction of [ZrCl4(dppe)] with Mg(CH3)2 gives [Zr(CH3)4(dppe)]. NMR spectra indicate that all methyl groups are equivalent. Draw octahedral and trigonal prism structures for the complex and show how the conclusion from NMR supports the trigonal prism assignment (P.M. Morse and G.S. Girolami, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1989, 111, 4114).
