Both Professor Kaminsky and one of the present authors (J. J. E.) attended Professor Gassman's lecture and noted these findings. However, Professor Gassman has since passed away, so no documentation of these results has been obtainable.

32. 5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium(III) by UV light of 254 nm wavelength in the presence of 2 equiv. of diphenylacetylene led to the isolation of 38% of dark green crystals of 34. Apparently, an allyl radical was lost photolytically from the starting titanocene(III) and the resulting titanocene 32 captured instantly by the alkyne to produce successively 33 and 35: J. J.
