Abstract

The activation parameters (delta G++298 = 11.5 (+/- 1.0) kcal mol-1, delta H++ = 16.3 (+/- 3.0) kcal mol-1, delta S++ = 16 (+/- 11) cal mol-1 K-1) have been determined for the rac to meso isomerization of a phosphametallocene, bis(3,4-dimethyl-2-phenylphospholyl)titanium dichloride, 2, which has been structurally characterized.
