To explore metal-metal multiple bonds between first row transition metals, Ti/Co complexes supported by two phosphinoamide ligands have been synthesized and characterized. The Ti metalloligand Cl2Ti(XylNP(i)Pr2)2 (1) was treated with CoI2 under reducing conditions, permitting isolation of the Ti/Co complex [(μ-Cl)Ti(XylNP(i)Pr2)2CoI]2 (2). One electron reduction of complex 2 affords ClTi(XylNP(i)Pr2)2CoPMe3 (3), which features a metal-metal triple bond and an unprecedentedly short Ti-Co distance of 2.0236(9) Å. This complex is shown to promote the McMurry coupling reaction of aryl ketones into alkenes, with concomitant formation of the tetranuclear complex [Ti(μ3-O)(NXylP(i)Pr2)2CoI]2 (4).

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 February 2015.
All research outputs
#15,325,004
of 22,792,160 outputs
Outputs from Chemical Science
#5,955
of 7,798 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#208,899
of 353,005 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Chemical Science
#389
of 492 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,792,160 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,798 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 353,005 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 492 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
