{N-[2-(η5-Cyclopentadienyl)ethyl]-4-toluenesulfonamido-N,O}(tetrahydrofuran-O)bis(trifluoromethanesulfonato-O)titanium(II)
Abstract
The title compound, [Ti(CF3O3S)2(C14H15NO2S)(C4H8O)], contains a unique ligand system in which the Ti ion is bound to the N and O atoms of a 2-p-toluenesulfonamide ligand, which is linked by an ethyl group to a coordinated cyclopentadiene moiety. The distorted octahedral geometry about the Ti ion is completed by two trifluoromethanesulfonate ligands and a tetrahydrofuran molecule. Comparison with related compounds shows that both the Ti—N and Ti—O bonds of the sulfonamide, although longer than normal values, indicate significant bonding interactions.
