Tebbe's reagent contains two tetrahedral centers linked by a pair of ]s. Titanium features two ] ({{chem||-}}, or Cp) rings, and aluminium features two methyl ligands. The titanium and aluminium atoms are bridged by both ] and chloride ligands. This compound exhibits a nearly square (Ti-CH<sub>2</sub>-Al-Cl) bridge. The Tebbe reagent was the first reported compound where a methylene group bridges a transition metal (Ti) and a main group metal (Al).<ref name="Herrmann">Herrmann, W.A., "The Methylene Bridge" ''Advances in Organometallic Chemistry'' '''1982''', ''20'', 195-197.</ref> Tebbe's reagent contains two ] metal centers linked by a pair of ]s.

Also analogous to the Wittig reagent, the reactivity appears to be driven by the high ]ity of Ti(IV). The Schrock carbene ('''1''') reacts with carbonyl compounds ('''2''') to give a postulated oxatitanacyclobutane intermediate ('''3'''). This cyclic intermediate has never been directly isolated, presumably because it breaks down immediately to the produce the desired ] ('''5''').

Methylenation reactions also occur for ] as well as ], ] and ]s. The Tebbe reagent converts esters and lactones to enol ethers and amides to enamines. In compounds containing both ketone and ester groups, the ketone selectively reacts in the presence of one equivalent of the Tebbe reagent.
