Among open shell (d1 � d5) transition metal complexes, those having two-coordination are among the least studied. The focus of this work is the synthesis of the widest possible range of two-coordinate paramagnetic complexes involving the early transition metals titanium, vanadium, and chromium and the exploration of their reactivities.Work on iron and manganese bisamides, has shown that two-coordinate derivatives of first row transition metal complexes have interesting magnetic properties.1,2 Herein we describe the synthesis and characterization, more specifically the magnetic characterization, of several terphenyl substituted derivatives of early transition metals.1.
