Synthesis and characterisation of bis (η⁵-cyclopentadienyl )-N,N-disubstituted schiff base complexes of titanium( IV)

Abstract

Titanium(IV) complexes of the type (C₅H₅)₂Ti(SB) have been prepared where (C₅H₅)₂=dicyclopentadieile and SB = tetradentate schiff base like N,N'-bis(arylidene) alkylenediamine, derived from the reaction of salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-l-naphthaldehyde with the diamines of the type NH₂XNH₂ [X = - CH₂ – CH₂ -, -CH₂ -CH₂ – CH₂ -, - CH₂ -(CH₂)₄- CH₂ -] in 1:1 molar ratio in tetrahydrofuran medium in the presence of triethylamine. The complexes have been characterised on the basis of elemental analysis, conductance measurements and spectral (IR, UV and ¹H NMR) studies.
