Triphenylsiloxy derivatives of bis‐cyclopentadienyltitanium

Abstract : Contrary to a report in the literature one or two chlorine atoms in bis-cyclopentadienyl titanium dichloride may be replaced by triphenylsiloxy groups with retention of the cyclopentadienyl groups. Orange-colored triphenyl-siloxy-bis-cyclopentadienyl titanium chloride (m.p. 210-212C) and yellow-colored bis-triphenylsiloxy-bis-cyclopentadienyl titanium (m.p. 208-210C) were isolated in good yield.
