In the title compound, [Ti(C(8)H(13)Si)(C(11)H(21)Si(2))Cl(2)], the Ti(IV) atom is bonded to two Cl atoms, one 1,3-bis-(trimethyl-sil-yl)cyclo-penta-dienyl (Si(2)Cp) and one (trimethyl-sil-yl)cyclo-penta-dienyl ring (SiCp). The Si(2)Cp centroid-titanium distance is 2.0763 (10) Å and the SiCp centroid-titanium distance is 2.0793 (10) Å. The angle subtended at the Ti atom by the centroids of both...

A series of new titanium half sandwich complexes, containing a 2-aminopyrrolinato ligand {N(Xyl)N}(-) as the ancillary ligand, have been prepared and are shown to be pre-catalysts for the hydroamination of alkynes. The coordination of {N(Xyl)N}(-) to titanium was achieved by reaction of [Cp*TiMe(3)] with the protioligand N(Xyl)NH giving [Cp*Ti(N(Xyl)N)(Me)(2)] (). Upon reaction of complex with ...

The surface of a biomaterial interacts with the body fluid upon implantation in the human body. The biocompatibility of a material is strongly influenced by the adsorption of proteins onto the surface. Titanium is frequently used as a biomaterial for implants in orthopedics and cardiovascular devices. Understanding the biocompatibility is very important to improve implants. The surface chemistr...

Dental implants have increased the use of titanium and titanium alloys in prosthetic applications. Whitening toothpastes with peroxides are available for patients with high aesthetic requirements, but the effect of whitening toothpastes on titanium surfaces is not yet known, although titanium is prone to fluoride ion attack. Thus, the aim of the present study was to compare Ti-5Ta alloy to cp T...

This study was conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility of titanium-nickel shape memory alloy used as a medical implant material. The authors carried out the following electrochemical corrosion test and in vivo and in vitro biological tests for the alloy and some metal and alloys clinically used previously to compare the intensities concerned with the biological reactions, that is, (1) anodic...

Experimental cast titanium alloys containing 20 mass% chromium (Ti-20Cr) show preferable mechanical properties and a good corrosion resistance. This study evaluated the fretting corrosion behavior of Ti-20Cr. Ti-20Cr (n = 4) and commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti, n = 6) disk specimens were used. The fretting corrosion test was performed by electrochemical corrosion at 0.3 V in 0.9% saline solut...

PURPOSE Severe wear of cast commercial pure (CP) titanium teeth was observed in a clinical survey. This study evaluated the wear resistance of cast CP titanium and titanium alloy teeth after the surface was modified using laser technology. METHODS Teeth patterns were duplicated from artificial first molars (Livdent FB30, GC, Japan). All teeth specimens were cast with CP Ti grade 3 (T-Alloy H,...

Sita Department of Chemistry and Biochemsitry University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20740 In the course of stu...

As a newly developed conductive ceramic with wide application prospects, the electrochemical corrosion behavior of Ti3SiC2 in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization, potentiostatic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) was selected for comparative, and cooperated with XRD, XPS, SEM, the passivation behavior, corr...

In the title complex mol-ecule, [Ti(C(10)H(15))(2)I], the paramagnetic Ti(III) atom is coordinated by two penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp*) ligands and one iodide ligand. The two Cp* ligands are in a staggered orientation. The coordination geometry at the titanium atom can be described as distorted trigonal-planar.
