With the goal of preparing Ti(IV) complexes bearing a sulfur-based redox function of possible use in electrocatalytic oxidations of alcohols at electrode surfaces, a series of seven 2,2′-dithiodianiline Schiff-base derivatives, including two new variations, were tested in reactions with Ti(OR) 4 (R = i Pr, t Bu). Instead of the expected dimetallic products of general formula [LTi(OR) 2 ] 2 , mononuclear species LTi(OR) 2 were obtained, confirmed by crystallographic ...
