Bis(pentalene)di-titanium: a bent double-sandwich complex with a very short Ti–Ti bond

Abstract

The novel bimetallic bis(pentalene) complex Ti2(μ:η55-Pn)2 (Pn = C8H4{SiiPr3-1,4}2) has been synthesised and structurally characterised. Structural data show a Ti–Ti distance of 2.399(2) Å, consistent with a strong metal–metal interaction, which DFT calculations best describe as a double bond with σ and π components.
