Well-defined imidotitanium alkyl cations: agostic interactions, migratory insertion vs.[2+2] cycloaddition, and the first structurally authenticated AlMe(3) adduct of any transition metal alkyl cation.
The imidotitanium alkyl cations [Ti(NtBu)(Me3[9]aneN3)R]+ (R = Me (3+) or CH2SiMe3(4+)) possess either a very weak alpha-agostic or beta-Si-C agostic interactions, respectively, according to 13C and 29Si NMR and DFT studies; reaction of (4+) with iPrNCNiPr gives totally selective insertion into the...
