Bifluorene-Bridged Ti(IV) Complex Via Titanium-Mediated <i>In Situ</i> C–C Coupling: Expanding the Structural Landscape of Olefin Polymerization Catalysts
The unexpected formation of a bifluorene-bridged phenoxy-imine (FI) Ti(IV) complex, generated from a fluorene-functionalized phenoxy-imine ligand via in situ C–C bond formation, was established through comprehensive characterization including single-crystal X-ray analysis. The bifluorene-bridged Ti(IV) complex exhibited a selective trans-dichloride geometry, in contrast to the commonly observed cis-arrangement, offering expansion to the structural landscape of Ti(IV) FI type of olefin polymerization catalysts.
