The reaction of Ti(NMe(2))(4) with the amine functionalised cyclopenta
diene C5H5CH2CH2CH2N(H)CMe(3) gives the titanium cyclopentadienyl-amid
e complex a(1)-(C(5)H(4)CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)NCMe(3))}(NMe(2))(2)] which rea
cts with aniline to generate the phenylimido bridged dimer (5)-C5H4CH2
CH2CH2N(H)CMe(3))(NHPh))(2)(mu-NPh)(2)] whose molecular structure has
been determined by X-ray diffraction, revealing a slightly asymmetric
Ti(mu-NPh)(2)Ti core.
