Titanium(0) Arene Complexes: Synthesis and X‐ray Crystal Structure of [η⁶‐C₁₀H₈Ti{tBuSi(CH₂PMe₂)₃}]

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

An unusually strong metal‐arene back‐bonding characterizes the bonding in the title complex 1, which is obtained in the form of deep purple‐red, air‐stable crystals on reduction of [TiCl₃(trimpsi)(thf)], trimpsi = tBuSi(CH₂PMe₂)₃, with naphthalenesodium in THF. This 16e‐complex has an overall three‐legged piano‐stool geometry, and the π‐bonded naphthalenring has partial dienediyl character. (Figure Presented.)
