Binuclear titanium(III) complex derived from diphenylphosphanylmalononitrile, [μ2(N,N′)-Ph2PC(CN)2TiCp2]2: Synthesis, structure and properties

1′-(Diphenylphosphino)-1-cyanoferrocene: A Simple Ligand with Complicated Coordination Behavior toward Copper(I)

“…In the vast majority of coordination compounds containing simple (organic) phosphinonitrile donors, such as Ph 2 PCH 2 CN, (Ph 2 P) 2 CHCN, Ph 2 PCH(CN) 2 , Ph 3– n P(CH 2 CH 2 CN) n ( n = 1–3), , 2- and 4-Ph 2 PC 6 H 4 CN, − and similar compounds, in their native (neutral) form, these compounds coordinate as simple P-donors, with their cyano groups acting as auxiliary substituents. Compounds in which both functional groups are coordinated to a metal center remain extremely rare and have not been definitively confirmed using methods of direct structural analysis. , …”

Formation of Zirconocenes Containing Vinyl-imine and Keteniminate Species from Zirconacycles and Diphenylacetonitrile

“…The deprotonation processes of nitriles are usually achieved through additional base, amine, or alkane elimination or simultaneous intramolecular protonation of basic nitrogen atoms (Scheme , II) . So far, only a few examples of crystallographically characterized metal–keteniminate complexes have been reported, and the well-defined keteniminate group 4 metal complex is rare . Herein we will report the reaction of zirconacycles with 2 equiv of diphenylacetonitrile (Ph 2 CHCN) to yield unprecedented zirconocene species 3 , which contains vinyl-imine and keteniminate species.…”

Reactions of Titanocene with Triazines and Dicyandiamide: Formation of Novel Di‐ and Trinuclear Metallacyclic Complexes

“…Macrocycles containing two titanocene centers were reported before 15. A recent example, which has nitrogen donor atoms coordinated to both central metal atoms is the centrosymmetric dimeric complex [μ 2 ( N , N′ )‐Ph 2 PC(CN) 2 TiCp 2 ] 2 , which was obtained from Cp 2 TiCl and diphenylphosphanyl malononitrile, Ph 2 PCH(CN) 2 in the presence of a base 16…”
