Abstract
Titanium(IV) chloride was reacted with a slight excess of barium pentafluorophenoxide in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution. After filtration and solvent evaporation, the resulting orange crystalline material was obtained. The product was recrystallized by preparing a concentrated solution in THF at room temperature, followed by cooling to 253 K. The supernatant solution was decanted using a pipet, and the crystals were dried by allowing the solvent to evaporate in the atmosphere of a glovebox. It was possible to obtain good-quality X-ray data at 100 K on a crystal, namely, tetrakis(pentafluorophenoxido-κO)bis(tetrahydrofuran-κO)titanium(IV), [Ti(C6F5O)4(C4H8O)2], having monoclinic (P21/n) symmetry. This compound adopts a solid-state structure in which the titanium(IV) ions have a distorted octahedral coordination environment with two coordinated THF molecules occupying cis positions.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
