Abstract: The title compound, [Ti(C₁₀H₁₅)(C₂₀H₂₆Si)], was obtained from the reaction of [Ti{⁵:¹-C₅Me₄(CH₂)}(⁵-C₅Me₅)] with the alkynylsilane PhC₂SiMe₂H. The complex crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which differ in the conformation of the propenyl unit, resulting in their having opposite helicity. No intermolecular interactions or interactions involving the Si-H bond are present. The observed geometrical parameters are unexceptional compared to known structures of the same type.
