Abstract

AbstractCp*2Ti(OTf) (2) was prepared by oxidation of the known(alkyne)titanocene complex Cp*2Ti(η2‐Me3SiC2SiMe3) with Fe(OTf)3. This reaction is highly selective; formation of Cp*2Ti(OTf)2 by using an excess of the oxidizing agent was not observed. Complex 2 was treated with water to give Cp*2Ti(OH)(OTf) (5) and hydrogen gas. This reaction was monitored by GC and volumetric analysis. Complexes 2 and 5 were characterized by X‐ray crystallography and investigated by DFT analysis.
