Reaction of the known titanocene Y 2 with methyl lithium at -15 degrees C yields bis-[(p-methoxybenzyl)cyclopentadienyl]titanium(IV) dimethyl (dimethyl titanocene Y, 3), a hitherto unknown, surprisingly robust titanium (IV) dimethyl species. Dimethyl titanocene Y was utilized in the preparation of several bis-[(p-methoxybenzyl)cyclopentadienyl]titanium(IV) dicarboxylates by the reaction with th...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted tremendous attentions due to its high performance and rapid efficiency promotion. Compact layer plays a crucial role in transferring electrons and blocking charge recombination between the perovskite layer and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) in PSCs. In this study, compact TiO2 layers were synthesized by spin-coating method with three different titani...

Catalytic trans-selective hydrogermylation of terminal and internal alkynes was attained by a methyliron complex, CpFe(CO)(2)(Me), and a bis(germyl)hydridoiron(IV) complex as a catalyst precursor. The structures of (Z)-triphenyl-(2-phenylethenyl)germane and the bis(germyl)hydridoiron(IV) complexes CpFe(CO)(H)(GeR(3))(2) (R = Et, Ph) were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.

The corrosion inhibition performance of acetylacetonate complexes of zinc(II), manganese(II), cobalt(II) and copper(II) on the mild steel substrate in 1M H3PO4 was studied using DC polarization. It was seen that the mentioned complexes decreased corrosion rate of mild steel in phosphoric acid media due to the adsorption on metal surface. The potential of mild steel shifted toward more active po...
