The title compounds, (I) [TiCl3(C5H10O2)(C4H8O)] [IUPAC name: ,L-tetra
hydrofuran-2-methanol-O,O')titanium(III)], and (II) [TiCl3(C5H9O2)(C4H
8O)] [IUPAC name: tetrahydrofuran-2-methanolato-O,O')titanium(III)], a
re pseudo-octahedral metal complexes of similar structure. The molecul
e of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol in (I) and its alkoxide anion in (II)
act as chelating ligands. Disorder of the two enantiomers of the chela
ting ligand occurs in both structures.
