The lithium amidinate [Me 3 SiNC(Ph)N(CH 2 ) 3 N(Me)SiMe 3 ]Li(THF) ( 2 ), with a pendant methyl(trimethylsilyl)amine functionality, was prepared and found to react with [TiCl 4 (THF) 2 ] to give the titanium amidinate−amide dichloride complex [η 2 ,η 1 ‐Me 3 SiNC(Ph)N(CH 2 ) 3 NMe]TiCl 2 ( 3 ) by elimination of LiCl and Me 3 SiCl. The elimination of Me 3 SiCl from the cyclopentadienyl derivative Cp[η 2 ‐Me 3 SiNC(Ph)N(CH 2 ) 3 N(SiMe 3 )Me]TiCl 2 ( 5 ) to give Cp[η 2 ,η 1 ‐Me 3 SiNC(Ph)N(CH 2 ) 3 NMe]TiCl ( 4 ) is much less favorable, and was found to be readily reversible. Dialkyltitanium complexes [η 2 ,η 1 ‐Me 3 SiNC(Ph)N(CH 2 ) 3 NMe]Ti(CH 2 R) 2 [R = Ph ( 6 ), SiMe 3 ( 7 )] were prepared, but could not be activated for catalytic ethene polymerization.
