✦ Synopsis

All five species undergo two reduction processes. The first reduction processes of ($-C,H,Me),TiCl, , ($-C,H,Cl),TiCl, and (q5-C,H,),TiCl, are characterized as one-electron reversible reductions, The other two compounds have one-electron reduction followed by the loss of a chloride in a slow chemical reaction (ie EC mechanism). Steric bulk of the pentamethyl derivative and the possibility of chelation in the carbomethoxy derivative enhance the loss of a chloride ion.
