Synthesis and Characterisation of Bis(π-cyclopentadienyl) N-aryl Substituted Dithiocarbamato Chloro Titanium (IV) Compounds

Bis(π-cyclopentadienyl) N-aryl substituted dithio-carbamato chloro titanium(IV) compounds have been synthesised by the reaction of bis(π-cyclopentadienyl) titanium(IV) dichloride with ammonium (N-aryl substituted) dithiocarbamates in refluxing dichloromethane. Molecular weight, conductance and infrared studies point out that these complexes are monomeric non-electrolytes in which the dithiocarbamate ligands are bidentate. Therefore, a coordination number of ‘5’ may be assigned to the titanium(IV) atom in all the twelve complexes. Electronic spectra have also been obtained for these complexes
