将（+）-新孟基和（+）-异莰基引入茚环结构中，合成得到三个茚环3-位手性基团取代的桥联二茚配体化合物1a～3a. 利用这些配体化合物的二锂盐与四氯化锆反应，最终分离得到两个C₂-对称的亚乙基桥联取代二茚锆络合物2b和3b，相应具类内消旋结构、C₁-对称的锆络合物2c和3c未能分离得到纯品. 所有配体化合物和络合物均通过¹H NMR、¹³C NMR、元素分析（或HRMS）的鉴定. 对络合物2c进一步用X射线单晶衍射测定了晶体结构. 2c属正交晶系，其空间群为P2（1）2（1）2（1），晶胞参数a=10.946（4） Å，b=13.377（4） Å，c=24.294（8） Å，α=β=γ=90°，M_r=694.94，V=3557（2） ų，D_c=1.298 g/cm³，Z=4，F（000）=1464，μ=0.486 mm^-1，R=0.0296，wR=0.0683 [I>2s（I）].

Ethylene or methylene bridged bis(indenyl) compounds 1a～3a bearing chiral substituent have been obtained by introducing (+)-neomenthyl or (+)-isocamphyl to the 3-position of indenyl ring. Two C₂-symmetric ethylene bridged bis(indenyl) zirconium complexes 2b and 3b have been isolated readily from the reaction of the dilithium salts of these compounds with zirconium tetrachloride. The purification of corresponding meso-like, C₁-symmetric complexes 2c and 3c was however not successful. All of the proligand compounds and zirconium complexes have been characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR spectra and elemental analysis (or HRMS). The molecular structure of 2c was further determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. The crystal of 2c belongs to orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell parameters a=10.946(4) Å, b=13.377(4) Å, c=24.294(8) Å, α=β=γ=90°, M_r=694.94, V=3557(2) ų, D_c=1.298 g/cm³, Z=4, F(000)=1464, μ=0.486 mm^-1, R=0.0296 and wR=0.0683 [I>2s(I)].
