Reactions of trichloro(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) with 1,5-diarylthiocarbazones

The synthesis and characterization of the complexes from the reactions of trichloro(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) with 1,5-diarylthiocarbazones (aryl=phenyl,o-tolyl,o-chlorophenyl,p-tolyl,p-chlorophenyl, or 3,5-dimethylphenyl) are reported. They are of the types CpTi(HDz)Cl2 and CpTi(HDz)2Cl (Cp=cyclopentadienyl, HDz−=the mono-anion of a 1,5-diarylthiocarbazone, H2Dz). The compounds are nonelectrolytes in dimethylformamide (DMF). In solid state, the far i.r. spectra of CpTi(HDz)Cl2 indicate the complexes to be dimeric, involving Cl-bridges.
