Abstract
(Amidocyclopentadienyl)dichlorotitanium(IV) complexes of the general formula [TiCl2{η5:η1(N)-C5(1-SiMe2Nt-Bu-2,3,4-Me3-5-R)}], where R = H (6b), Ph (6c), 4-fluorophenyl (6d) and 1-methylallyl (6e) were synthesized and characterized by spectral methods. Solid-state structure of [TiCl2{η5:η1(N)-C5Me4(SiMe2Nt-Bu)}] (6a) and 6d determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction showed that variation of the ring substituent R has only a negligible effect on the molecular structure of the complexes. The NMR spectra indicate that motion of the bulky substituent R in compounds 6c, 6d and 6e is hindered below ca 50 °C.
