V. Varga et al., A TITANIUM(III) TWEEZER COMPLEX WITH AN EMBEDDED ALKALI-METAL ION BETWEEN DIYNYL LIGANDS - )(2)TI(ETA(1)-C-CC-CSIME(3))(2)](-)[LI(THF)(2)](+), Journal of organometallic chemistry, 506(1-2), 1996, pp. 109-112
The complex )(2)Ti(eta(1)-C=CC=CSiMe(3))(2)](-)[Li(THF)(2)](+) (1) was
obtained by the reaction of (C(5)HMe(4))(2)TiCl with 2 equiv. of LiC=
CC=CSiMe(3) in THF. X-Ray crystal structure determination of 1 reveale
d that the lithium ion is embedded between the inner triple bonds of t
he 4-trimethylsilyl-1,3-butadiyn-1-yl tweezer arms. The EPR spectrum o
f 1 shows a single line, Delta H = 2.5 G at g = 1.9940 (+/-0.0003), an
d coupling to Ti-49 and Ti-47 isotopes a (Ti)= 7.5 G.
