Dichlorobis(cumylcyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV).
The title compound, [Ti(C(14)H(15))(2)Cl(2)], belongs to a class of complexes that are potentially active as pre-catalysts in the stereospecific polymerization of olefins. In the crystal structure, molecules lie on C(2) axes with pseudo-tetrahedral coordination around the Ti atoms. Conformational features of the compound are discussed, in conjunction with calculations that demonstrate the existence of other energetically favorable conformations in addition to that found in the reported crystal structure.
