Abstract

Cp ** 2TiCl 2 (I) was obtained by the reaction of TiCl 4 with Cp **LiC 5H 3(C 4-H 9-t) 2Li. Complex I was treated with potassium metal in pentane to give paramagnetic Cp ** 2TiCl (II) in high yield. The crystal structures of I and II were determined by X-ray crystallography. The molecules of both complexes are monomeric in crystals. Complex I: monoclinic, B2/ b, a 21.069, b 19.387, c 6.560 Å, γ 94.25°, R = 0.045. TiCl and TiC bond distances are 2.349 and 2.124 Å, on the average, respectively. ClTiCl and Cp ***TiTp ** angle values are 93.1 and 121° Complex II: monoclinic, P2/ n, a 13.497, b 13.441, c 7.207 Å, γ 86.48°, R = 0.064 TiCl and TiC bond distances are 2.337 and 2.386 Å, on the average, respectively. Cp ***TiCp ** angle value is 134.8°.
