Synthesis and structure of an organotitanoxane containing a tetrahedral Ti4O6 cage, [(η5-C5Me5)Ti]4O6
Abstract
Base hydrolysis of (η5-C5Me5)TiCl3 in toluene yields [(η5-C5Me5)Ti]4O6 which, according to X-ray structural analysis, has an adamantane-like cage structure with a tetrahedral TiIV4O6 core.
