The titanium complexes [η5:η1-C5Me4(CH 2)3O]-TiR2 (R = Cl, Me, CH2Ph, CH2CMe3, CH2SiMe3), with a linked Cp-alkoxide ancillary ligand, have been prepared in good yield. Cationic [C5Me4CH2)3O]Ti(η 2-CH2-Ph)+ catalyzes the polymerization of propene to atactic polypropene. B(C6F5)3 reacts with [C5Me4(CH2)3O]Ti(CH 2-SiMe3)2 by Me abstraction from one of the CH2SiMe3 groups accompanied by an attack of the ligand alkoxide functionality on the Si atom of this group.
