| Abstract: | By exploiting solvent and anion effects, Cp2Ti]+ complexes for atom‐economical catalysis in single‐electron steps were developed and applied for the first time. These complexes constitute remarkably stable and active catalysts for radical arylations. The reaction kinetics and catalyst composition were studied by cyclic voltammetry and in situ IR spectroscopy. |
