title: [1-Dimethyl-silyl-2-phenyl-3-(η-tetra-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)-prop-1-en-1-yl-κC](η-penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)titanium(III).
abstract: The title compound, [Ti(C(10)H(15))(C(20)H(26)Si)], was obtained from the reaction of [Ti{η(5):η(1)-C(5)Me(4)(CH(2))}(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))] with the alkynylsilane PhC(2)SiMe(2)H. The complex crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, which differ in the conformation of the propenyl unit, resulting in their having opposite helicity. No inter-molecular inter-actions or inter-actions involving the Si-H bond are present. The observed geometrical parameters are unexceptional compared to known structures of the same type.
