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.
