Electron transfer processes involving [M(η5-C5H5)2X2], M = Ti or Zr, X = Cl or Br. Electrogeneration of unusual anionic species

Abstract
M(η5-C5H5)2X2(M = Ti, X = Cl or Br; M = Zr, X = Cl) is reduced electrochemically in tetrahydrofuran to give, in successive electrochemical steps, [M(η5-C5H5)2X2], [M(η5-C5H5)2X2]2–, and [Ti(η5-C5H5)2X2]3–; [Ti(η5-C5H5)2X2] is stable in solution and reacts with PPhMe2, while [Ti(η5-C5H5)2X2]2– dissociates into X and [Ti(C5H5)2X] which also reacts with PPhMe2.
