The reactions of [Cp*Ti-2(eta(2)-Me(3)SiC(2)SiMe3)] (Cp*=eta(5)-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with various dicyano compounds were investigated. Nitrile-nitrile C-C couplings result in multinuclear complexes owing to the bifunctionality of the substrates. Applying 1,3-or 1,4-dicyanobenzene led to tri-and tetranuclear complexes of the rare 1-metalla-2,5-diaza-cyclopenta- 2,4-dienes. These are potential catalysts and were tested in the ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone. The reaction with adiponitrile as alkyl dinitrile afforded a trinuclear 1-metalla-2,5-diaza-cyclopent-3-ene through additional protonation of the nitrogen atoms. The structure and bonding of the products were investigated by X-ray crystallography and DFT analysis to understand the molecular organization in the macrocycles.
