Reactions of nitrogen oxides with di(cyclopentadienyl)titanium complexes

Abstract

Under various conditions the following reactions between dinitrogen oxide (N₂O) or nitrogen mono-oxide (NO) and di(cyclopentadienyl)titanium (Cp₂Ti) complexes are found: (i)(Cp₂TiCl)₂+ 2NO →(Cp₂TiCl)₂O + N₂O; (ii) 2Cp₂Ti(CO)₂+ 1NO → 3CO + Ti-product; (iii) 2Cp₂-Ti(CO)₂+ 2NO → 2CO + CO₂+ N₂+ Ti-product; (iv) Cp₂Ti(CO)₂+ N₂O → N₂+ 2CO +(CpTiO)_x; (v) Cp₂Ti-(CO)₂+ 2N₂O →(CpTiO)_x+ CO + CO₂+ 2N₂; (vi) CpTi + N₂O →(Cp₂Ti)₂O + N₂.
