(Cyclopentadienyl)titanium trichloride is an organotitanium compound with the formula (C5H5)TiCl3. It is a moisture sensitive orange solid. The compound adopts a piano stool geometry. [1]
(C5H5)TiCl3 is prepared by the reaction of titanocene dichloride and titanium tetrachloride:
The complex is electrophilic, readily forming alkoxide complexes upon treatment with alcohols. [2]
Reduction of (cyclopentadienyl)titanium trichloride with zinc powder gives the polymeric Ti(III) derivative (cyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride: [3]
A related reduction can be effected with cobaltocene: [4]
Other evidence for the Lewis acidity of the trichloride is the ready formation of adducts with phosphine ligands: [5]
