Reactions of [Cp(2)Ti(N(t)Bu)(py)] with S-H bonds and synthesis of [Cp(2)Ti(mu-S)(2)TiCp(2)]

The imidotitanocene complex [Cp2Ti(NtBu)(py)] reacts with an excess of H2S or MeSH to form [Cp2Ti(SR)2] (R = H or Me). The labile bis(μ-sulfido) complex [Cp2Ti(μ-S)2TiCp2], formed as an intermediate in the reaction of [Cp2Ti(NtBu)(py)] with H2S, is also obtained by addition of one equivalent of [Cp2...
