Abstract
Clean reactions of Cp2TiR2 (R = CH3, CH2-Ph) with HB(C6F5)(2) occur when 2. 5 equiv of borane are used. The products of the reaction are the Ti(III) co mplex Cp2Ti[eta(2)-H2B(C6F5)(2)], which has been fully characterized, RH, a nd RB(C6F5)(2). A plausible explanation for these observations, which contr ast with other reactions of boranes with group 4 metallocenes, is presented .
