Abstract: | A novel one‐pot method was developed for the preparation of [Ti(η5‐C5H5)(η7‐C7H7)] (troticene, 1 ) by reaction of sodium cyclopentadienide (NaCp) with [TiCl4(thf)2], followed by reduction of the intermediate [(η5‐C5H5)2TiCl2] with magnesium in the presence of cycloheptatriene (C7H8). The [n]troticenophanes 3 (n=1), 4 , 8 , 10 (n=2), and 11 (n=3) were synthesized by salt elimination reactions between dilithiated troticene, [Ti(η5‐C5H4Li)(η7‐C7H6Li)] ? pmdta ( 2 ) (pmdta=N,N′,N′,N′′,N′′‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine), and the appropriate organoelement dichlorides Cl2Sn(Mes)2 (Mes=2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl), Cl2Sn2(tBu)4, Cl2B2(NMe2)2, Cl2Si2Me4, and (ClSiMe2)2CH2, respectively. Their structural characterization was carried out by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The stanna[1]‐ and stanna[2]troticenophanes 3 and 4 represent the first heteroleptic sandwich complexes bearing Sn atoms in the ansa bridge. The reaction of 3 with [Pt(PEt3)3] resulted in regioselective insertion of the [Pt(PEt3)2] fragment into the Sn? Cipso bond between the tin atom and the seven‐membered ring, which afforded the platinastanna[2]troticenophane 5 . Oxidative addition was also observed upon treatment of 4 with elemental sulfur or selenium, to produce the [3]troticenophanes [Ti(η5‐C5H4SntBu2)(η7‐C7H6SntBu2)E] ( 6 : E=S; 7 : E=Se). The B? B bond of the bora[2]troticenophane 8 was readily cleaved by reaction with [Pt(PEt3)3] to form the corresponding oxidative addition product [Ti(η5‐C5H4BNMe2)(η7‐C7H6BNMe2)Pt(PEt3)2] ( 9 ). The solid‐state structures of compounds 5 , 6 , and 9 were also determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. |
