Barium granules and barium hexamethyldisilzide tetrahydrofuranate are used as reagents for the introduction of barium in the syntheses of heterometallic zirconium isopropoxides. Reaction with 1 or 2 equiv of Zr{sub 2}(O{sup i}Pr){sub 8}(HO{sup i}Pr){sub 2} yields (BaZr{sub 2}(O{sup i}Pr){sub 10}){sub 2} and Ba{l brace}Zr{sub 2}(O{sup i}Pr){sub 9}{r brace}{sub 2}, respectively. The structure of the former has been determined in the solid state by x-ray diffraction studies, and the data are reported. The structure reveals a dimer in which all metal centers are six-coordinate. The compound is also characterized by {sup 1}H and {sup 13}C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. X-ray diffraction data for Ba{l brace}Zr{sub 2}(O{sup i}Pr){sub 9}{r brace} are not acceptably refined but indicate gross skeletal features in which barium is eight-coordinate, surrounded by two Zr{sub 2}(O{sup i}Pr){sub 9}{sup {minus}} fragments. 11 refs., 3 figs., 3 tabs.
