The synthesis of two pyridine-stabilised ansa-titanocene oxidocomplexes is described. Oxidation of the titanocene sources Cpb2Ti(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (Cpb2 = bridged η5-cyclopentadienyl, 1a and 1b) with nitrous oxide yields corresponding oxido compounds 2a and 2b, respectively, in high yields. These can be hydrolysed to give dihydroxido complexes 3a and 3b, respectively, without the formation of by-products
