Cyclopentadienyl titanium chlorides containing ortho-(1-naphthyl)phenoxide ligation
Abstract
A series of mono-cyclopentadiene derivatives of titanium containing ortho-(1-naphthyl)phenoxide ligands have been studied; the Ti–Ti distance in the d1–d1 species [Cp(ArO)Ti(µ-Cl)2Ti(OAr)Cp] is exactly intermediate between that found in paramagnetic [Cp2Ti(µ-Cl)2TiCp2] and diamagnetic [(ArO)2Ti(µ-Cl)2Ti(OAr)2].
