Popis: The electronic structure of the recently synthesized complex 5 obtained by the reaction of Cp2Ti(PMe3)(tBu-CP) with (Et2BH)2 was analyzed by means of molecular orbital (MO) calculations. The methods applied were the extended Huckel and the ab initio Hartree-Fock procedures. The highest occupied MOs were derived from molecular fragments. The geometrical parameters calculated for a simplified model (6) are close to those obtained from an X-ray investigation of 5. The analysis of the results shows a strong donor-acceptor interaction between the P-B o bond and the Ti center. The phosphorus lone pair is not involved in bonding.
