The cis-dichlorobis(diethyl succinate)titanium(IV) bis(hexachloroantimonate(V))-dichloromethane (1/1) salt, [cis-(C{sub 2}H{sub 4}(CO{sub 2}Et){sub 2}){sub 2}Cl{sub 2}Ti][SbCl{sub 6}]{sub 2}{center_dot}CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} (1), was prepared by direct reaction of TiCl{sub 4}, diethyl succinate, and SbCl{sub 5} in CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}. catena-({mu}-Diethyl succinate-O,O{sup {prime}}) magnesium(II) tetrachloromagnestate-(II)-dichloromethane(1/2), [Mg(C{sub 2}H{sub 4}(CO{sub 2}Et){sub 2}){sub 3}][MgCl{sub 4}]{center_dot}2CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} (2), was formed by substitution of ethyl acetate in [MgCl{sub 2}(CH{sub 3}CO{sub 2}Et)] for diethyl succinate. Both species have been structurally characterized. Complex 1 crystallized in the space group Pnn2. In the [cis(C{sub 2}H{sub 4}(CO{sub 2}Et)){sub 2}Cl{sub 2}Ti]{sup 2} cation, the titanium atom is octahedrally coordinated by two mutually cis chlorine atoms and four carbonyl oxygen atoms of two chelating diethyl succinate molecules. The ([Mg(C{sub 2}H{sub 4}(CO{sub 2}Et){sub 2}){sub 3}]{sup 2+}){sub {infinity}} cation in the crystalline state is a linear polymer formed by the [Mg(C{sub 2}H{sub 4}(CO{sub 2}Et){sub 2}{sub 2})]{sup 2+} units linked by other diethyl succinate ligands. In this cation, each magnesium atom is octahedrally coordinated by six carbonyl oxygen atoms of ethyl succinate molecules. Catalytic activity was found for ethylene polymerization by 1.
