Reaction of [Ti(NBut)Cl2(py)3] with K2[C8H8] gave the monomeric, pseudo-two-coordinate complex [Ti(η8-C8H8)(NBut)] 1 which has been crystallographically characterised; the electronic structure of 1 has been investigated using density functional theory calculations and gas phase photoelectron spectroscopy.
