Abstract

The complex [(η5-C5H5)2TiB6H9]2 is prepared through the reaction of K[B6H9] with (η5-C5H5)2TiCl in THF. It is a member of a small class of metalloboranes which are edge-bonded derivatives of B6H10. The compound is a paramagnetic dimer, [(η5-C5H5)2TiB6H9]2. The Ti(III) atom is formally a 17-electron species as supported by ESR spectra. There is no evidence for Ti−Ti interaction. The proposed structure resembles that of [{(Ph2Me)3P}2PtB6H9]2.
