Although more than a century has passed since the first preparation of titanium and zirconium species, modern organic synthesis continues to benefit from the unique versatility of these organometallic derivatives.

In this chapter we will review the synthesis, structural aspects, and basic chemical properties of formally divalent and trivalent titanium and zirconium metallocene complexes. We have restricted our coverage to the low-valent bis(rj-cyclopentadienyl) and related metallocenes metal halide complexes and organometallic mixed metal systems will not be discussed here. We have not attempted to present an exhaustive coverage of the field. Rather, our aim has been to describe critically and to evaluate the often confusing chemistry that has been reported for the reactive low-valent titanium and zirconium metallocenes. More general reviews (7) and a book (2) on the organometallic chemistry of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium have been published.
