M. Enders et al., SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF PENTAK IS(DIMETHYLSULFOXIDE)-OXO-TITANIUM(IV) CHLORIDE, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 52(4), 1997, pp. 496-499
Pentakis(dimethylsulfoxide)-oxo-titanium chloride is obtained by react
ion of titanium tetrachloride with a stoichiometric amount of water in
dimethylsulfoxide. A single crystal structure determination (P (1) ov
er bar, a = 9.564(6), b = 10.504(7), c = 12.510(8) Angstrom, a = 70.21
(5), beta = 83.48(5), gamma = 89.82(5)degrees, V = 1174 Angstrom(3), Z
= 2) shows a dicationic titanium(IV) complex with five dimethylsulfox
ide ligands and one oxygen atom. The two chlorine anions are not bonde
d to the complex cation. The TiO6-fragment is a distorted octahedron,
where five of the six oxygen atoms belong to the coordinated dimethyls
ulfoxide molecules.
