The literature discussion is based on one of the early papers from the Chirik group (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2004, 126, 14688). In this communication, the coordination of N₂ to a series of (C₅H₄R)₂Ti fragments is examined. Being a communication, it is very short and that helps make it less intimidating for undergraduates. But don't be fooled, it is very rich in the fundamental concepts of orgnaometallic chemistry. The nitrogen fixation reaction has real world significance and is therefore an interesting big picture idea to talk about in relation to this paper. The bonding of Cp ligands is discussed in the context of this paper. In addition, this paper also presents paramagnetic and dimagnetic Ti(II) compounds and thus provides an opportunity to discuss the characterization of paramagnetic compounds. The use of X-ray crystallography and IR spectroscopy in relation to the strength of a bonding interaction between ligands and a metal center is also discussed. Finally, there is an opportunity to apply group theory to determine the number of IR active bands in the IR spectrum of a carbonyl compound. The supporting info for this paper is such a key part of this LO that links to both the paper and the supporting info are included below. In addition, there is a link to a Hoffman paper detailing the MO diagram for Cp₂M compounds which might prove useful in discussing the paramagentic and diamagnetic Ti(II) compounds.
