Abstract
Low-valent titanium species were prepared by reaction of [TiCp*X3] (Cp* = eta5-C5Me5; X = Cl, Br, Me) with LiEH4 (E = Al, B) or BH3(thf), and their structures elucidated by experimental and theoretical methods. The treatment of trihalides [TiCp*X3] with LiAlH4 in ethereal solvents (L) leads to the hydride-bridged heterometallic complexes [{TiCp*(mu-H)}2{(mu-H)2AlX(L)}2] (L = thf, X = Cl, Br; L = OEt2, X = Cl). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations for those compounds reveal an open-shell singlet ground state with a Ti-Ti bond and can be described as titanium(II) species. The theoretical analyses also show strong interactions between the Ti-Ti bond and the empty s orbitals of the Al atom of the AlH2XL fragments, which behave as sigma-accepting (Z-type) ligands. Analogous reactions of [TiCp*X3] with LiBH4 (2 and 3 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature and at 85 ºC lead to the titanium(III) compounds [{TiCp*(BH4)(mu-X)}2] (X = Cl, Br) and [{TiCp*(BH4)(mu-BH4)}2], respectively. The treatment of [TiCp*Me3] with 4 and 5 equiv of BH3(thf) produces the diamagnetic [{TiCp*(BH3Me)}2(mu-B2H6)] and paramagnetic [{TiCp*(mu-B2H6)}2] complexes, respectively.
