An unusually strong metal‐arene back‐bonding characterizes the bonding in the title complex 1 , which is obtained in the form of deep purple‐red, air‐stable crystals on reduction of [TiCl 3 (trimpsi)(thf)], trimpsi = t BuSi(CH 2 PMe 2 ) 3 , with naphthalenesodium in THF. This 16e‐complex has an overall three‐legged piano‐stool geometry, and the π‐bonded naphthalenring has partial dienediyl character.
