Abstract
Crystalline Ti(II) complexes [(C5H5-nMen)Ti(η2-Me3SiC≡CSiMe3)(μ-Cl)]2 (n = 3-5) (1-3) were prepared by reduction of the appropriate cyclopentadienyltitanium trichlorides (C5H5-nMen)TiCl3 in tetrahydrofuran by one equivalent of magnesium in the presence of at least one equivalent of bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene. The X-ray structure analyses of 1-3 revealed that all compounds form chlorine-bridged centrosymmetric dimers.
