C5Me5) 2Ti (? j-C2H4)] are reported. This complex represents the first example of an isolable ethylene adduct of titanium. Titanium-olefin complexes have been widely invoked as key intermediates in Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization schemes. Whereas treatment of (7j-C5Me5) 2Ti (?;-C2H4) with ethylene leads to only traces of polymer aftermonths,(n-C5Me5) 2Ti (7)-C2H4) participates in a range of stoichiometricand catalytic reactions. These include the catalytic conversion of ethylene specifically to butadiene and ethane and the catalytic isomerization of alkenes.Organotitanium chemistry has been a very active area of re-search since the first reports that mixtures of TiCl3 and tri-alkylaluminum are active catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene and the formationof highly ordered polymers of the a-olefins. 2, 3 In view of the scientific and commercial importance of olefin polymerization, significant effort has been directed toward the elucidation of the mechanism (s) of Ziegler-Natta-type ca-talysis. Although a number of substantially different mechanisms have been formulated, 4 the reaction is generally believed to occur via coordination of an olefin to an alkyltitanium complex, which then undergoes olefin insertion (or alkyl migration) to generate
