Titanium bis(acetylacetonate)dichloride
Titanium bisdichloride is the coordination complex with the formula Ti2Cl2. It is a common acetylacetonate complex of titanium. It is a red-orange solid that hydrolyzes slowly in air.
The complex is prepared by treatment of titanium tetrachloride with excess acetylacetone:
It is an octahedral complex that crystallizes as a racemic mixture of the chiral cis isomers. It is fluxional in solution, as the result of rapid cis–trans equilibrium.
