The thermally unstable (decomp. ca. –30°C) titanium derivative [TiCl4(SOCL2)]2, prepared from TiCI4 and SOCI2, forms three crystalline modifications (I–III) in temperature range between 220 and 234 K; these modifications differ in the orientation of the SOCI2 ligand with respect to the titanium-containing fragment within the dinuclear molecule and and in the packing modes due to intermolecular S˙ ˙ ˙CL interactions at distances between 3.25 and 3.82 Å.
