Used as a catalyst precursor in organometallic chemistry, particularly in olefin polymerization reactions. It serves in the synthesis of advanced polymeric materials due to its high reactivity and selectivity. Commonly employed in research settings for modeling catalytic behavior and developing new titanium-based catalysts. Also utilized in vapor deposition processes to form titanium-containing thin films for electronic and optical applications. Its well-defined structure makes it valuable in mechanistic studies of transition metal-catalyzed transformations.
