i Pr tips the scales: Simple introduction of an i Pr group to the Cp ligand in titanocene alkyne complexes of the type [Cp′ 2 Ti(η 2 ‐Me 3 SiC 2 SiMe 3 )] (Cp′= cyclopentadienyl) gives a highly active catalyst for dimethylamine borane dehydrogenation. In this communication, a detailed study of the scope of this complex and the reaction kinetics is presented.
