Abstract

The novel bimetallic bis(pentalene) complex Ti2(μ:η5,η5-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.
