Abstract: | The crystal and molecular structure of Bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) dibromide, Ti(η5?C5H5)2Br2, has been investigated by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: triclinic, a = 7.872(5), b = 11.807(5), c = 12.310(3) Å, α = 107.62(3), β = 100.83(4), γ = 90.69(4)°, V = 1 068(14) Å3, T = 293, space group P1 , Z = 4 (there are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit cell and their conformations are similar). Final R and Rw values are 0.068 and 0.073, respectively. The structural results are compared to those for similar type molecules. |
