This video lecture explains the preparation methods, properties and bonding in transition metal hydrides. Also helpful in explaining methods of characterization and classification of transition metal hydrides. 


At 35.41 min, kindly modify the reason as (some opposite reason has been given):

The methyl groups on Cp* are electron donors, so this results in more electron density at the metal than for the analogous Cp complex and the Cp* will act as good Sigma donor. This will increase the electron density on Zr and H- abstraction will facilitate.
