A convenient method for the preparation of Cp2Ti(L) complexes, where Cp is cyclopentadienyl and L is the conjugate base of O-hydroxynaphthoquinone or its derivatives, has been described. The new complexes have been characterized on the basis of chemical analysis, infrared and NMR spectral studies. These studies indicate that the complex is formed in 1:1 ratio and the ligand L chelates through the oxygen of the O-hydroxy group.
