A. Ohff et al., REACTIONS OF AZINES WITH TITANOCENE - C-H ACTIVATION, C-C COUPLING, AND N-N CLEAVAGE TO HETEROBIMETALLIC COMPLEXES, Organometallics, 17(9), 1998, pp. 1649-1651
Either C-H activation or C-C coupling is observed in reactions of tita
nocene with azines ((RRC)-R-1-C-2=N-N=(CRR2)-R-1), which lead to the f
ormation of complexes 2 and 3, respectively. The reaction with two dif
ferent metallocene units can yield heterobimetallic bis(alkylideneamid
o) complexes (4).
