Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the permethyltitanocene hydride–magnesium hydride complex [{(C5Me5)2Ti(µ-H)2)2}2Mg]

Abstract

The trinuclear hydride complex [{(C₅Me₅)₂Ti(µ-H₂)₂}₂Mg]1 was obtained from the [(C₅Me₅Ticl₂]–Pr^Imgcl–Et₂O system; the X-ray crystal structure of 1shows two mutually perpendicular permethyltitanocene moieties coordinated through four bridging hydride bonds to the central pseudotetrahedrally coordinated magnesium atom.
