title: Titanocene as a precursor for a cyclopentadienyl-free titanium(III)-manganese(II) cluster: a new approach for nano-size materials.
abstract: A simple and unique route to access the heterometallic cluster [Mn4Ti4(micro-Cl)2(micro3,eta2-L)2(micro,eta2-L)10Cl6] (1) with two Mn2Ti2 butterfly core motifs is reported. This method comprises elimination of the Cp ring from Cp2TiCl2 as CpH in the presence of metallic Mn in 2-methoxoethanol (LH) as a proton source. Complex 1 belongs to a group of magnetic clusters, which consists of two weakly interacting M4 subunits.
