-L-E with MXy, wherein: Ar=Aryl sigma bonded to L, L=Heteroaromatic or heteroaliphatic ring, with one or more heteroatoms, including fused derivatives, E=Heteroatom on L, available for coordination with the metal. M=Transition metal from groups 3-6, 8, and the lanthanide series of the periodic table of elements. X=Halogenide, y=integer. The ligands react with the TiCl
