In this work we report the synthesis of a mononuclear Ti(II) complex, using the precursor TiCl3(THF)3.  Reactivity of this Ti(II) complex with small molecules such as PhCCPh and N2CPh2, and organic azides are reported, as well as other 2e- acceptor reagents.  The ease in preparation of this interesting Ti(II) reagent as well as its reactivity will be presented and discussed.  In addition, we will also discuss spectroscopic and magnetic characterization of this rare, but well-defined Ti(II) species.
