Synthesis and structural characterization of Cp₂Ti(SiH₃)(PMe₃)

Abstract

The title compound, the first example of a structurally fully characterized, unsubstituted silyl complex of a group 4 element, has been synthesized and showed unusual thermal stability compared to its analog Cp₂Ti(SiH₂Me)(PMe₃).
