Monocyclopentadienyl-Titanium Aryloxide Sulfide Complexes.

In this report we extend titanium-sulfide chemistry, describing the syntheses, structures, and chemistry of monocyclopentadienyl-titanium aryloxide sulfide complexes. Reduction of Cp'Ti(OC(6)H(3)-2,6-i-Pr(2))Cl(2) (Cp' = Cp (1), Cp (3)) with n-BuLi affords the Ti(III) compounds [CpTi(OC(6)H(3)-2,6-i-Pr(2))(&mgr;-Cl)](2) (2) and [CpTi(OC(6)H(3)-2,6-i-Pr(2))(&mgr;-Cl)](2) (4). Compound 2 is oxidized by moisture, giving [CpTi(OC(6)H(3)-2,6-i-Pr(2))Cl](2)(&mgr;-O) (5).
