Crystallographic report: The [bis(η5‐cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV)‐bis(L‐methionine)] dichloride

The structure of ionic complex [Cp2Ti(L-Met)2]2+[Cl−]2 (where Cp = η5-C5H5) possessing C2 symmetry is presented. Discrete cationic units with distorted tetrahedral geometry around the central titanium atom are connected through intermolecular H···Cl bonds between ammonium group protons of α-amino acid ligands and chloride anions.
