Abstract

Titanium complexes containing a linked isopropyl- or benzylamido(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) ligand C5Me4SiMe2NR (R = iPr, CH2Ph,) and one bidentate organyl group C6H4(CH2NMe2)-2, CH2C6H4(NMe2)-2, and {η5-C5H3(CH2NMe2)-2}Fe(η5-C5H5) were prepared by salt metathesis of the corresponding dichloro complex Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NR)Cl2 with the lithium organyl. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis of Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2Ph)- {C6H4(CH2NMe2)-2}Cl and of Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NiPr){CH2C6H4(NMe2)-2}Cl revealed the presence of intramolecular coordination with square pyramidal geometry around titanium. In the ferrocenyl derivative Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2Ph)[{η5-C5H3(CH2NMe2)-2}Fe(η5-C5H5)]Cl the NMe2 group is not bonded at the titanium atom. Ethene polymerization catalyzed by these complexes upon activation with methylaluminoxane was examined.
