Triple-Hydrogen-Bridged Dititanium(III) and Dizirconium(IV) Aryloxide Complexes

Abstract

The triple-hydrogen-bridged dititanium(III) complex was prepared by the reaction of the titanium(IV) aryloxide complex with LiBHEt3, while a similar reaction using the zirconium aryloxide complex gave the triple-hydrogen-bridged dizirconium(IV) complex. The titanium(III) dimer was found to be diamagnetic, and its dynamic behavior in solution was revealed by NMR studies
