R. Tomaszewski et al., Synthesis and characterization of a dimeric acetone coupling product with a titanium-pentadienyl complex, J ORGMET CH, 583(1-2), 1999, pp. 42-46
The reactions of Ti(C5H4R)(C5H7)(PMe3) complexes (R = H, CH3; C5H7 = pentad
ienyl) with acetone lead to the coupling of each dienyl terminus to a molec
ule of acetone, as had earlier been observed for the 2,4-dimethylpentadieny
l ligand. However, in this case, dimeric rather than monomeric species were
isolated. Confirmation of their formulations has been accomplished through
a single crystal diffraction study. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rig
