Abstract
Complex [Ti(III)(η8-C8H8)(η5-C5Bn5)] (1) was prepared by salt metathesis reaction of [TiCl(η8-C8H8)(thf)]2 with LiC5Bn5 and characterized by ESR and UV-near-IR spectra. Its crystal structure is symmetric with respect to a mirror plane involving the titanium atom and one of the benzyl groups.
