The syntheses of a series of 1-methyl-3-aryl-substituted titanocene and zirconocene dichrorides are reported. These complexes are synthesized by the reaction of 2-and 3-methyl6, 6-dimethylfulvenes (1:4) with aryllithium, followed by the reaction with TiCl4.2THF,ZrCl4 and (CpTiCl2)2O respectively, to give complexes 1-5. The complex [η5-1-methyl-3-(α,α-aimethylbenzyl)cyclopentadienyl]titanium dichloride has been studied by X-ray diffraction. The red crystal of this complex is monoclinic, space group P2/c with unit cell parameters: a =6.973(6) × 101 nm, b =36.91(2) × 101 nm, c=10.063(4) ×10-1nm, α=β=γ=93.35(5)°, v=2584(5)×103 nm3 and Z= 4. Refinement for 1004 observed reflections gives the final R of 0.088. There are four independent molecules per unit cell.
