| Abstract: | The crystal and molecular structure of Ti(n5-C5H4CH3)2S5has been determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The substance crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system [a = 6.8642(5), b = 16.507(1), c = 13.074(1) Å, β = 82.407(3)°, space group P21/n, Z = 4]. The geometry about the titanium atom is a distorted tetrahedron, with a (centroid)-Ti-(centroid) angle of 131.29° and a S? Ti? S angle of 93.38°. The six-membered ring TiS5 has a cyclohexane-like chair configuration. The structural results are compared to those for similar type titanium complexes. |
