Reactions of lithiated sila-bridged ligands Li-2[E(C5H3SiMe3)(2)] With TiCl
4 . 2THF lead to the formation of complexes [E (C5H3SiMe3)(2)]TiCl2 [E = Me
2SiSiMe2(3), Me2SiOSiMe2 (5)]. The unsymmetrical ansa-titanocenes [E (C5H4)
(C5H3SiMe3)]TiCl2 [E = Me2SiSiMe2 (4), Me2SiOSiMe2(6)] were also isolated
simultaneously as desilylation products, Among them, disiloxane-bridged lig
and is easier to occur the desilylation reaction. Complexes 3-6 were charac
terized by H-1 NMR, mass spectra and elemental analyses.
