PHOTOCHEMICALLY INDUCED TRANSMETHYLATION IN TRANSITION METAL COMPOUNDS USING METHYLTITANOCENES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)89060-9

Photolysis of dimethyltitanocene and chloromethyltitanocene in the presence of another transition metal complex leads to methyl transfer from titanium to transition metal and to other ligand transfer reactions.These reactions are thought to proceed by a free radical pathway.
