The reaction of lithium 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphanyl)trimethylcyclopentadienide (1) with CpTiCl3 leads to the formation of the titanocene diphosphane {(η5‐C5H5)[η5‐C5Me3‐1,2‐(PPh2)2]TiCl2} (TiPHOS, 2). This metalloligand reacts readily with (NBD)Cr(CO)4 and W(CO)5(THF) to give, in both cases, the bimetallic chelate complexes (TiPHOS)Cr(CO)4 (3) and (TiPHOS)W(CO)4 (4). The structure of 4 has been determined by X‐ray diffraction. The synthesis of a new early‐late heterobimetallic complex (TiPHOS)Rh(CO)Cl (5) is reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
