Complexes of Dichlorobis(Cyclopentadienyl)Titanium(IV) with N-(Aryl)-2-Mercaptoacetamides

Abstract Bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV)mercaptoacetamide derivatives of the type Cp2Ti(MA)Cl and Cp2Ti(MA)2 (Cp = cyclopentadienyl and MAH [dbnd] N-(aryl)-2-mercapto-acetamide; aryl = phenyl, o-tolyl, m-tolyl, p-tolyl or α-naphthyl) have been prepared from the reactions of dichlorobis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) (Cp2TiCl2) with various mercaptoacetamides in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature in the presence of triethylamine (Et3N). These new mercaptoacetamide derivatives have been characterized by their elemental analyses, electrical conductance, IR, 1H NMR and electronic spectral data.
