Abstract:
The reaction of the bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene complex of titanocene Cp2Ti(Me3SiC2SiMe3) with mercury trifluoroacetate (NF3COO)2Hg at 20 °C in a THF medium affords titanocene bis(trifluoroacetate) Cp2Ti(OCOCF3)2 and metallic mercury. The structure of Cp2Ti(OCOCF3)2 was established by the analytical and spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction analysis.
