Used primarily as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in organometallic reactions, especially in polymerization processes. It shows activity in the synthesis of polyolefins, where it helps control molecular weight and stereochemistry of the resulting polymers. Also employed in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes for depositing titanium-containing thin films, useful in semiconductor and coating industries. Its reactivity makes it valuable in research settings for developing new titanium-based catalysts and studying reaction mechanisms involving early transition metals.
