Synthesis and characterization of a chelating 2-dimethylsilylpyridine complex of titanocene(III)
Abstract
The complex Cp2Ti[2-SiMe2(C5H4N)] 1, the first example of a chelating silyl, and a tertiary silyl complex of Cp2Ti(III), is prepared by reaction of 2-SiHMe2(C5H4N) with Cp2TiMe2, and its X-ray structure, EPR spectrum and reactions with C5H5N and PMe3 are reported.
