The synthetic route to obtain single crystals of dichloro{6, yne-N)]-4
,4'-dimethyldiphenolato-O,O'}titanium(IV) is described. The X-ray anal
ysis reveals that the title compound is a monomer with four molecules
in the unit cell. There are only weak van der Waals-type forces betwee
n neighboring molecules. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic s
pace group P2(1)/c (No. 14). The Ti atom has a distorted octahedral co
ordination, with chloride ions in trans positions.
