On supposedly five-co-ordinate titanium(IV) complexes. The crystal and molecular structure of Cl3Ti(C5H7O2)
Abstract
An X-ray diffraction study shows that the titanium(IV) complex, Cl3Ti(C5H7O2), of apparent five-co-ordinate stoicheiometry is, in the solid state, a centrosymmetric chlorine-bridged dimer in which each titanium atom is six-co-ordinate and carries a bidentate acetylacetonate (C5H7O2–) ligand.
