title: Titanocene dichloride route to a tetranuclear oxo-bridged monocyclopentadienyl titanium(IV) calix[4]arene complex.
abstract: Lithiation of p-tBu-calix[4]arene followed by reaction with titanocene dichloride affords a novel tetranuclear titanium(IV) monocyclopentadienyl complex, wherein a single calix[4]arene in a cone conformation provides O-phenoxy coordination to four titanium atoms, with additional mu-oxo bridging between titanium centres in an eight membered ring.
