Abstract
Titanium, as an important transition metal, has garnered extensive attention in both industry and academia due to its excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and unique reactivity in organic synthesis. In the field of organic photocatalysis, titanium-based compounds such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), titanocenes (Cp2TiCl2, CpTiCl3), titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), tetrakis(isopropoxy)titanium (Ti(OiPr)4), and chiral titanium complexes have demonstrated distinct reactivity and selectivity. This review focuses on the roles of these titanium compounds in photocatalytic organic reactions, and highlights the reaction pathways such as photo-induced single-electron transfer (SET) and ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT). By systematically surveying the latest advancements in titanium-involved organic photocatalysis, this review aims to provide references for further research and technological innovation within this fast-developing field.

Abstract
The synthesis, structure, and catalytic activity of a Ti(II)/Ti(III) inverted sandwich compound are presented in this study. Synthesis of the arene-bridged dititanium compound begins with the preparation of the titanium(IV) precursor [TiCl2(MesPDA)(thf)2] (MesPDA = N,N'-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-o-phenylenediamide) (2). The reduction of 2 with sodium metal results in species [{Ti(MesPDA)(thf)}2(μ-Cl)3{Na}] (3) in oxidation state III. To achieve the lower oxidation state II, 2 undergoes reduction through alkylation with lithium cyclopentyl. This alkylation approach triggers a cascade of reactions, including β-hydride abstraction/elimination, hydrogen evolution, and chemical reduction, to generate the Ti(II)/Ti(III) compound [Li(thf)4][(TiMesPDA)2(μ-η6: η6-C6H6)] (4). X-ray and EPR characterization confirms the mixed-valence states of the titanium species. Compound 4 catalyzes a mild, efficient, and regiospecific cyclotrimerization of alkynes to form 1,3,5-substituted arenes. Kinetic data support a mechanism involving a binuclear titanium arene compound, similar to compound 4, as the resting state. The active catalyst promotes the oxidative coupling of two alkynes in the rate-limiting step, followed by a rapid [4 + 2] cycloaddition to form the arene product. Computational analysis of the resting state for the cycloaddition of trimethylsilylacetylene indicates a thermodynamic preference for stabilizing the 1,3,5-arene within the space between the two [TiMesPDA] fragments, consistent with the observed regioselectivity.

Abstract
Ti-based molecules and materials are ubiquitous and play a major role in both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic processes. Understanding the electronic structures of their active sites (oxidation state, local symmetry, and ligand environment) is key to developing molecular-level structure-property relationships. In that context, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) offers a unique combination of elemental selectivity and sensitivity to local symmetry. Commonly, for early transition metals such as Ti, K-edge XAS is applied for in situ characterization and subsequent structural analysis with high sensitivity toward tetrahedral species. Ti L2,3-edge spectroscopy is in principle complementary and offers specific opportunities to interrogate the electronic structure of five-and six-coordinated species. It is, however, much more rarely implemented because the use of soft X-rays implies ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Furthermore, the interpretation of the data can be challenging. Here, we show how Ti L2,3-edge spectroscopy can help to obtain unique information about both homogeneous and heterogeneous epoxidation catalysts and develop a molecular-level relationship between spectroscopic signatures and electronic structures. Toward this goal, we first establish a spectral library of molecular Ti reference compounds, comprising various coordination environments with mono- and dimeric Ti species having O, N, and Cl ligands. We next implemented a computational methodology based on multiplet ligand field theory and maximally localized Wannier orbitals benchmarked on our library to understand Ti L2,3-edge spectroscopic signatures. We finally used this approach to track and predict the spectra of catalytically relevant intermediates, focusing on Ti-based olefin epoxidation catalysts.

Abstract
The success and power of homogeneous catalysis derives in large part from the wide choice of transition metal ions and their ligands. This tutorial review introduces examples where the reactivity of a ligand is completely reversed (umpolung) from Lewis basic/nucleophilic to acidic/electrophilic or vice versa on changing the metal and co-ligands. Understanding this phenomenon will assist in the rational design of catalysts and the understanding of metalloenzyme mechanisms. Labelling a metal and ligand with Seebach donor and acceptor labels helps to identify whether a reaction involving the intermolecular attack on the ligand is displaying native reactivity or reactivity umpolung. This has been done for complexes of nitriles, carbonyls, isonitriles, dinitrogen, Fischer carbenes, alkenes, alkynes, hydrides, methyls, methylidenes and alkylidenes, silylenes, oxides, imides/nitrenes, alkylidynes, methylidynes, and nitrides. The electronic influence of the metal and co-ligands is discussed in terms of the energy of (HOMO) d electrons. The energy can be related to the pKLACa (LAC is ligand acidity constant) of the theoretical hydride complexes [H-[M]-L]+ formed by the protonation of pair of valence d electrons on the metal in the [M-L] complex. Preliminary findings indicate that a negative pKLACa indicates that nucleophilic attack by a carbanion or amine on the ligand will likely occur while a positive pKLACa indicates that electrophilic attack by strong acids on the ligand will usually occur when the ligand is nitrile, carbonyl, isonitrile, alkene and η6-arene.

Abstract
Low-valent tungsten species generated from WCl6 and N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2,5-dimethyldihydropyrazine (Si-Me2-DHP) promotes the catalytic formation of N-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetraarylpyrroles 3aa-ka from diarylacetylenes 1a-k and azobenzene (2a). An initial catalyst activation process is a three-electron reduction of WCl6 with Si-Me2-DHP to afford transient 'WCl3' species. Catalytically active bis(imido)tungsten(VI) species via successive one-electron reduction and N═N bond cleavage of 2a was revealed by isolating W(═NPh)2Cl2(PMe2Ph)2 from imidotungsten(V) trichloride and 2a in the presence of PMe2Ph. The superior catalytic activity of the tungsten catalyst was clarified by a density functional theory study: activation energies for the key three steps, [2 + 2]-cycloaddition of W═NPh and diarylacetylene to form (iminoalkylidene)tungsten species, enyne metathesis with second diarylacetylene, and C-N bond formation, are reasonable values for the catalytic reaction at 180 °C. In addition, this tungsten catalyst overcame two distinct deactivation processes: α-enediamido formation and aggregation of the low-valent species, both of which were observed for previously developed vanadium and titanium catalysts. We also demonstrated the synthetic utility of pentaarylpyrroles 3aa and 3ba as well as N-(2-bromophenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetraarylpyrrole 3ab by derivatizing their π-conjugated compounds 9aa, 10ba, and 11ab.

Abstract
The synthesis of a series of Ti complexes of an aryl-linked bis-phenoxide ligand, 3,3''-di-tert-butyl-5,5''-dimethyl-[1,1':2',1''-terphenyl]-2,2''-bis(olate), (TPO)H2, is reported. This ortho-linked terphenyl ligand builds on previously reported meta- and para- linked terphenyl based ligands, completing the isomeric series of terphenoxide ligands. The 4-coordinate (TPO)Ti(NMe2)2 is an active catalyst for alkyne hydroamination with a variety of arylamines, revealing good regioselectivity in reactions with unsymmetric alkynes. Terminal alkynes such as phenylacetylene undergo additional insertion reactions with the key azatitanacyclobutene intermediates, providing further evidence that Ti aryloxide complexes are susceptible to this further reactivity.

Abstract
Ti-catalyzed oxidative alkyne carboamination with alkenes and azo compounds can yield either α,β-unsaturated imines or cyclopropyl imines through a common azatitanacyclohexene intermediate. Herein, we report the synthesis of a model azatitanacyclohexene complex (3) through the ring-opening of a cyclopropyl imine with Cp2Ti(BTMSA) (BTMSA = bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene). 3 readily undergoes thermal or reductant-catalyzed ring contraction to an azatitanacyclopentene (4), analogous to the proposed mechanism for forming α,β-unsaturated imines in the catalytic reaction. A cyclopropyl imine or an α,β-unsaturated imine could be liberated via the oxidation of 3 or 4 with azobenzene, respectively, further implicating the role of these metallacycles in the Ti-catalyzed carboamination reaction.

Abstract
The complex {(TMEDA)2Li}{[Ti(N(TMS)2)2]2(μ-η2:η2-N2)2} (5-Li) is the only transition metal N2 complex ever reported with two side-on N2 adducts. In this report, the similarity of 5-Li to a new inverse sandwich toluene adduct {(PhMe)K}{[Ti(N(TMS)2)2]2(μ-PhMe)} (6-K) necessitated a re-examination of the structure of 5-Li. Through a reassessment of the original disordered crystal data of 5-Li and new independent syntheses brought about through revisitation of the original reaction conditions, 5-Li has been re-assigned as an inverse sandwich toluene adduct, {(TMEDA)2Li}{[Ti(N(TMS)2)2]2(μ-PhMe)} (6-Li). The original crystal data could be fitted almost equally well to structural solutions as either 5-Li or 6-Li, and this study highlights the importance of a holistic examination of modeled data and the need for secondary/complementary analytical methods in paramagnetic inorganic syntheses, especially when presenting unique and unexpected results. In addition, further examination of reduction reactions of Ti[N(TMS)2]3 and [(TMS)2N]2TiCl(THF) in the presence of KC8 revealed rich solvent- and counterion-dependent chemistry, including several degrees of N2 activation (bridging nitride complexes, terminal bridging N2 complexes) as well as ligand C-H activation.

Abstract
A new chemistry of azo compounds, that is, addition of free radicals generated in situ to access various acyl hydrazides, has been developed. The protocol provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of valuable acyl hydrazides. The transformation features mild reaction conditions, good tolerance of functional groups, and a broad substrate scope. In view of the importance of acyl hydrazides in functional materials and medicinal chemistry, this approach would find broad applications.

Abstract
![]()
The reaction of [TaCpRX4] (CpR = η5-C5Me5, η5-C5H4SiMe3, η5-C5HMe4; X = Cl, Br) with SiH3Ph resulted
in the formation of the dinuclear hydride tantalum(IV) compounds [(TaCpRX2)2(μ-H)2], structurally
identified by single-crystal X-ray analyses. These species react with
azobenzene to give the mononuclear imide complex [TaCpRX2(NPh)] along with the release of molecular hydrogen.
Analogous reactions between the [{Ta(η5-C5Me5)X2}2(μ-H)2]
derivatives and the cyclic diazo reagent benzo[c]cinnoline
afford the biphenyl-bridged (phenylimido)tantalum complexes [{Ta(η5-C5Me5)X2}2(μ-NC6H4C6H4N)] along with the
release of molecular hydrogen. When the compounds [(TaCpRX2)2(μ-H)2] (CpR = η5-C5H4SiMe3, η5-C5HMe4; X = Cl, Br) were
employed, we were able to trap the side-on-bound diazo derivatives
[(TaCpRX)2{μ-(η2,η2-NC6H4C6H4N)}]
(CpR = η5-C5H4SiMe3, η5-C5HMe4; X = Cl,
Br) as intermediates in the N=N bond cleavage process. DFT
calculations provide insights into the N=N cleavage mechanism,
in which the ditantalum(IV) fragment can promote two-electron reductions
of the N=N bond at two different metal–metal bond splitting
stages. The series of dinuclear tantalum(IV)
hydrides [{TaCpRX2}2(μ-H)2] (CpR = η5-C5Me5, η5-C5H4SiMe3, η5-C5HMe4; X = Cl, Br) show
the ability to promote
N=N bond cleavage in their reactions with azobenzene and benzo[c]cinnoline in absence of reducing reagents. Both the characterization
of intermediate species and DFT studies point to a mechanism in two
stages, in which the Ta−Ta bond splitting is key for the reduction
of the N=N bond and its complete scission.

Abstract
Recently published reactions of group 4 metallocene bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene (btmsa) complexes from the last two years are reviewed. Complexes like Cp'2 Ti(η2 -Me3 SiC2 SiMe3 ) and Cp2 Zr(py)(η2 -Me3 SiC2 SiMe3 ) with Cp' as Cp (cyclopentadienyl) and Cp* (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) have been considered (py=pyridine). These complexes can liberate a reactive low-valent titanium or zirconium center by dissociation of the ligands and act as ''masked'' MII complexes (M=Ti, Zr). They represent excellent sources for the clean generation of the reactive coordinatively and electronically unsaturated complex fragments [Cp'2 M]. This is the reason why they were used for many synthetic and catalytic reactions during the last years. As an update to several review articles on this topic, this contribution provides an update with recent examples of preparative organometallic and organic chemistry of these complexes, acting as reagents for a wide range of coordinating and coupling reactions. In addition, applications and investigations concerning reaction products derived from this chemistry are mentioned, too.
