Six new titanocene compounds have been isolated and characterized. These compounds were synthesized from their silyl-substituted fulvene or cyclopentadiene precursors using Super Hydride (LiBEt3H) or n-BuLi, followed by transmetalation with titanium tetrachloride, to yield the corresponding titanocene dichloride derivatives. These complexes are bis- [((phenyl) dimethylsilane) cyclopentadienyl] titanium (IV) dichloride (3a), bis-[((4- ...
