SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIS(ETA-5-METHYLCYCLOPENTADIENYL) N-ARYL-DITHIOCARBAMATO CHLORO TITANIUM(IV) COMPOUNDS

Some bis(η5-methylcyclopentadienyl) N-aryl-dithiocarbamato chloro titanium(IV) compounds of the general formula η5-(Mecp)2Ti(S2CNRH)Cl (R = phenyl; o-, m- and p-tolyl; p-methoxy phenyl; o- and p-ethoxy phenyl; o-, m- and p-chlorophenyl; p-bromophenyl and p-iodophenyl groups) have been prepared by the reaction of bis(η5-methylcyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) dichloride with ammonium N-aryl-dithiocarbamates. A study of the molecular weight, conductance, infrared and electronic spectra, and magnetic susceptibility in addition to elemental analysis has been carried out to throw some light on the probable structure of these derivatives. © 1979, Walter de Gruyter.
