Bis(pentalene)dititanium chemistry: C–H, C–X and H–H bond activation
The reaction of the bis(pentalene)dititanium complex Ti2(μ:η5,η5-Pn†)2 (Pn† = C8H4(1,4-SiiPr3)2) (1) with the N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene results in intramolecular C–H activation of an isopropyl substituent to form a tucked-in hydride (3). Whilst pyridine will also e...
