New substituted alkoxylalkylcyclopentadienyl titanium trichloride complexes
, CH3OCH2CH(CH3)C5H4TiCl3 (3), CH3OCH(CH3)CH2C5H4TiCl3 (4) and CH3OCH2CH2CH
2C5H4TiCl3 (5) have been synthesized and 3 has been studied by X-ray diffra
ction. The crystal structure of 3 shows that there is an intramolecular coo
rdination between the ethereal oxygen atom in the side chain on the Cp ring
and the titanium atom with an average Ti-O bond length of 2.24 Angstrom. D
ue to steric limitation around the coordination sphere of titanium, the oxy
gen atoms in the side chain in complexes 4 and 5 do not coordinate with the
central metals. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science S.A. All rights res
