Crystal structure of μ-oxido-1,1′κ2O:O-bis{tetra-μ-oxido-1:2κ2O:O;1:3κ2O:O;2:3κ4O:O-tris[1,2,3(η5)-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl]-trianglo-trititanium(IV)}

Abstract

The title polynuclear organometallic titanium(IV) oxide, [{Ti3(η5-C5Me5)3(μ-O)4}2(μ-O)], exhibits two Ti3O4cores bridged by an O atom located on a twofold axis. All metal centres present the typical three-legged piano-stool coordination environment, where one site is occupied by a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand linked in an η5-coordination fashion, while three bridging O atoms fill the other three sites.
