Ethylene trimerization with a half-sandwich titanium complex bearing a pendant thienyl group

Abstract

A half-sandwich titanium complex with a pendant thienyl group, activated by methylalumoxane (MAO), can trimerize ethylene to 1-hexene with considerable activity and high selectivity; the coodination of the sulfur atom to the titanium center is proposed to be responsible for the selective trimerization of ethylene.
