Ether-Substituted Group 4 Metallocene Complexes: Cytostatic Effects and Applications in Ethylene Polymerization

The synthesis of the ether-substituted group 4 metallocene complexes [Ti(η5-C5H5)(η5-C5H4{CMeRCH(OMe)2})Cl2] (R = Me (4), Ph (5)) and [M(η5-C5H4{CMeRCH(OMe)2})2Cl2] (M = Ti, R = Me (6), Ph (7); M = Zr, R = Me (8), Ph (9)) is reported. In addition, the titanocene derivatives 4–7 have been supported on the mesoporous silica-based material KIT-6, giving the functionalized materials K4–K7, respectively. All compounds and materials have been...
