Description

Dichloro(Methylenedi-Pi-Cyclopentadienyl)Titanium is a highly reactive organometallic compound belonging to the class of ansa-metallocenes, where two cyclopentadienyl ligands are bridged by a methylene group. This compound matters as a versatile and highly active precursor for the synthesis of advanced catalysts, particularly in the field of olefin polymerization and organic synthesis. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and manufacturers in the polymer, fine chemical, and advanced materials industries seeking to develop novel catalytic systems.

Application

• Precursor for single-site Ziegler-Natta and metallocene catalysts used in polyolefin production (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene).
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of titanium-based complexes for organic transformations and asymmetric catalysis.
• Used in materials science research for the development of thin films and surface coatings via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques.
• Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying structure-activity relationships in organometallic chemistry.
• Potential use as a cocatalyst component in conjunction with aluminoxanes for olefin oligomerization.

Quality Control

Our Dichloro(Methylenedi-Pi-Cyclopentadienyl)Titanium is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. All products undergo rigorous quality testing, including spectroscopic analysis and purity assays, to ensure compliance with research and industrial standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and handling specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to maximize stability. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, the container must be kept sealed and handled in a moisture-free, oxygen-free environment (glove box or Schlenk line) to prevent decomposition.
