The closely related compound Cp<sub>2</sub>ZrBr<sub>2</sub> was first described by Birmingham and Wilkinson.<ref>{{cite journal | author = ] and J. M.

The compound is a ]: the Cp rings are not parallel, the average Cp(centroid)-M-Cp angle being 128°. The Cl-Zr-Cl angle of 97.1° is wider than in ] (85.6°) and ] (82°). This trend helped to establish the orientation of the ] in this class of complex.<ref>K. Prout, T. S. Cameron, R. A. Forder, and in parts S. R. Critchley, B. Denton and G. V.

Zirconocene dichloride can also be used to prepare the '''] reagent''', Cp<sub>2</sub>Zr(]-]), which can be used as a source of Cp<sub>2</sub>Zr in oxidative cyclisation reactions. The Negishi reagent is prepared by treating zirconocene dichloride with ], leading to replacement of the two chloride ligands with ]s. The dibutyl compound subsequently undergoes ] to give one η<sup>2</sup>-butene ligand, with the other butyl ligand promptly lost as ] via ].<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Negishi | first1 = E. | last2 = Takashi | first2 = T. | doi = 10.1021/ar00041a002 | title = Patterns of Stoichiometric and Catalytic Reactions of Organozirconium and Related Complexes of Synthetic Interest | journal = Accounts of Chemical Research | volume = 27 | issue = 5 | pages = 124–130 | year = 1994 }}</ref>

=== Carboalumination ===
Zirconocene dichloride catalyzes the carboalumination of alkynes by ] to give a (alkenyl)dimethylalane, a versatile intermediate for further cross coupling reactions for the synthesis of stereodefined trisubstituted olefins. For example, ] can be prepared as a single stereoisomer by carboalumination of 1-buten-3-yne with trimethylaluminium, followed by palladium-catalyzed coupling of the resultant vinylaluminium reagent with geranyl chloride.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep=cv7p0245|title=Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of 1,4-Dienes by Allylation of Alkenylalanes: α-Farnesene|website=www.orgsyn.org|language=en|access-date=2019-11-27}}</ref>
]
The use of trimethylaluminium for this reaction results in exclusive formation of the ''syn''-addition product and, for terminal alkynes, the anti-Markovnikov addition with high selectivity (generally > 10:1). Unfortunately, the use of higher alkylaluminium reagents results in lowered yield, due to the formation of the hydroalumination product (via β-hydrogen elimination of the alkylzirconium intermediate) as side product, and only moderate regioselectivities.<ref>{{Citation|last=Huo|first=Shouquan|title=Carboalumination Reactions|date=2016-09-19|url=http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/9780470682531.pat0834|work=PATAI'S Chemistry of Functional Groups|pages=1–64|editor-last=Rappoport|editor-first=Zvi|place=Chichester, UK|publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Ltd|language=en|doi=10.1002/9780470682531.pat0834|isbn=978-0-470-68253-1|access-date=2021-01-19}}</ref> Thus, practical applications of the carboalumination reaction are generally confined to the case of methylalumination. Although this is a major limitation, the synthetic utility of this process remains significant, due to the frequent appearance of methyl-substituted alkenes in natural products.

=== Zr-walk ===
Zirconocene dichloride together with a reducing reagent can form the zirconocene hydride catalyst in situ, which allows a positional isomerization (so-called "Zr-walk"<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Sommer |first1=Heiko |last2=Juliá-Hernández |first2=Francisco |last3=Martin |first3=Ruben |last4=Marek |first4=Ilan |date=2018-02-08 |title=Walking Metals for Remote Functionalization |journal=ACS Central Science |volume=4 |issue=2 |pages=153–165 |doi=10.1021/acscentsci.8b00005 |pmid=29532015 |pmc=5833012 |s2cid=4389888 |issn=2374-7943|doi-access=free }}</ref>), and ends up with a cleavage of allylic bonds.
