[1-Dimethylsilyl-2-phenyl-3-(η5-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)prop-1-en-1-yl-κC1](η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)titanium(III)

Abstract

The title compound, [Ti(C10H15)(C20H26Si)], was obtained from the reaction of [Ti{η5:η1-C5Me4(CH2)}(η5-C5Me5)] with the alkynylsilane PhC2SiMe2H. The complex crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which differ in the conformation of the propenyl unit, resulting in their having opposite helicity. No intermolecular interactions or interactions involving the Si—H bond are present. The observed geometrical parameters are unexceptional compared to known structures of the same type.
