Die Reaktion von Trithiazylchlorid mit Titantetrachlorid Die Kristallstruktur von (S4N5)2[Ti2Cl10]

Reaction of Trithiazyl Chloride with Titanium Tetrachloride. Crystal Structure of (S₄N₅)₂[Ti₂Cl₁₀] In the reaction of trithiazyl chloride with titanium tetrachloride, chlorine is abstracted and the brown-yellow adduct TiCl₄(N₂S₂) is obtained. In this compound — according to its i.r. spectrum — a N₂S₂ ring is bonded to the titanium via the N atoms, thus forming a polymer. As a by-product, brown crystalline (S₄N₅)₂[Ti₂Cl₁₀] forms. Its crystal structure was determined and refined with X-ray diffraction data (R = 0.042 for 812 reflexions). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with two formula units per unit cell. The lattice constants are a = 670, b = 1 633, c = 1108 pm, β = 97.24°. The structure consists of S₄N₅^⊕ cations, which are nearly equal to those in [S₄N₅]Cl, and [Ti₂Cl₁₀]^2? anions, which are nearly identical with those in (PCl₄)₂[Ti₂Cl₁₀].
