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.
