Notes:
A series of new titanium complexes of the general type Ti(mbmp)X2 (X = Br, I; OMe, OiPr, OtBu), containing a bidentate bis(phenoxy) ligand derived from 2,2′-methylenebis(6-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol) (mbmpH2), was prepared. The 1H-chemical shifts for the protons of the methylene link were found to vary considerably as a function of the ligand X. Reaction of Ti(OiPr)4 with two equivalents of mbmpH2 gave the C2-symmetric spiro-titanate complex Ti(mbmp)2. The crystalline labile solvent adducts of the dichloro complex Ti(mbmp)Cl2 with THF and DME were isolated and characterized. A single-crystal X-ray structural analysis revealed the THF adduct to be a mono(THF) adduct with a trigonal-bipyramidal configuration, the bidentate mbmp ligand spanning an apical and equatorial site and the THF ligand occupying the remaining apical position.
