[Cp2Ti(CCtBu)2] as an Alkynyl Transfer Reagent: Synthesis and Characterization of the Asymmetrically Bridged Heterodimetallic Complex [Cp2Ti(CCtBu)2Pt(PPh3)]·0.5 THF

The coordination in A and B are not the only modes possible when dialkynylbis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium complexes coordinate other metal complex fragments. The reaction of [Cp2Ti(CCtBu)2] with [Pt(C2H4)(PPh3)2] affords a dinuclear complex which has structure C in the solid state. Dynamic processes are evident for this complex in solution.
