New mixed ligand complexes of dicyclopentadienyl titanium(IV) derived from sterically congested heterocyclic β-diketones and N-protected amino acids

Abstract

New mixed ligand monomeric complexes of dicyclopentadienyl titanium(IV) of general formula, [Formula: see text] have been synthesised by the reaction of titanocenedichloride with sterically congested heterocyclic β-diketones and N-protected amino acids in the presence of triethylamine in refluxing THF. Plausible structures for these mixed ligand complexes have been suggested
