Synthesis and catalytic activity of binuclear titanium imido complexes

Dalton Trans. 2004 Feb 7:(3):359-60. doi: 10.1039/b315711c. Epub 2004 Jan 7.

Abstract

Treatment of the N-P ligand ArPN(SiMe3)2 with TiCl4 affords the imido-bridged binuclear titanium complex [TiCl2(THF)(micro-NArP)]2 (ArP = m-C6H4PR2) which reacts with Ni(0) or Pd(ii) to give heterotrinuclear compounds, while activation with methylaluminoxane generates a new type of imido-based ethene polymerisation catalyst that is tolerant of -PR2 functional groups.
