Preparation and X-Ray Structure of Cp2Ti(PH2SiH2)(PMe3)

Abstract

The synthesis and X-ray structure determination of the novel complex, Cp2Ti(Ph2SiH2)(PMe3), 4 is reported. The spectroscopic and structural data indicate that 4 is best described as being a hybrid between a titanium(IV) (silyl)hydride complex and a titanium(II) silane complex. Complex 4 reacts reversibly with N2 to form the bridging dinitrogen complex 5 and, in the presence of norbornene, 4 catalytically dimerizes Ph2SiH2 in quantitative yield. Silane complex, Titanium
