Mm. Rohmer et al., TI8C-12 - A POLYTOPAL MOLECULE WITH 36 TI-C BONDS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (15), 1993, pp. 1182-1185
The Ti8C12 molecule, recently observed as a positive ion by Castleman
et al., is presented as a cluster with seven possible conformations wh
ich have been characterized as local minima by means of ab initio Hart
