PCP Pincer Complexes of Titanium in the +3 and +4 Oxidation States.

ABSTRACT: Ti(IV) and Ti(III) complexes using the ^tBuPCP ligand have been synthesized (^tBuPCP = C₆H₃-2,6-(CH₂P^tBu₂)₂). The [^tBuPCP]Li synthon can be reacted with TiCl₄(THF)₂ to form (^tBuPCP)TiCl₃ (1) in limited yields due to significant reduction of the titanium synthon. The Ti(III) complex (^tBuPCP)TiCl₂ (2) has been further characterized. This can have half an equivalent of halide abstracted to form [{(^tBuPCP)TiCl}₂{μ-Cl}][B(C₆F₅)₄] (3) and can also be methylated, forming (^tBuPCP)TiMe₂ (4). All the Ti(III) complexes have been characte
