Low-valent ansa-dimethylsilylene-, dimethylmethylene-bis(cyclopentadienyl) titanium compounds and ansa-titanium–magnesium complexes

Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 2019, 889, 15e26.

 

Highlights

- Low-valent ansa-titanium complexes were synthesized by reduction with magnesium.

- New ansa-titanium-magnesium complexes were characterized using spectral techniques, X-ray diffraction and computational studies.

- Fluxional behavior observed for dinuclear ansa-titanium-magnesium complex in polar media.

- Complexes with capping ligands could not be synthesized despite having lower total energies than their non-capped isomers.
