Thermolysis of [TiMe2(η5-C5Me4Ph)2] (4) at 145 °C for 5 h afforded the singly tucked-in paramagnetic titanocene [Ti(III)(η5-C5Me4Ph){η5:η1-C5Me3Ph(CH2)}] (9). In distinction to the singly tucked-in permethyltitanocene [Ti(III)(η5-C5Me5){η5:η1-C5Me4(CH2)}] (1) which was found crystallographically disordered [J.M. Fischer, W.E. Piers, V.G. Young, Jr., Organometallics 15 (1996) 2410] the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 9 afforded molecular parameters with nearly by one order better precision as measured by esd-values.
