✦ Synopsis

In the molecule of the title compound, [TiBr~2~(C~13~H~14~)], the Ti^IV^ centre is in a distorted tetrahedral environment involving two η^5^-bonded cyclopentadienyl rings of a propane-2,2-diyldicyclopentadienyl ligand [Ti—Cg = 2.045 (2) Å; Cg is the centroid of the cyclopentadienyl ring] and two Br atoms [Ti—Br = 2.5115 (7) Å]. The presence of the short 2,2-propylidene bridge between the two cyclopentadienyl rings constrains the Cg—Ti—Cg angle to a value of 121.32 (9)°. The Ti and central C atoms are located on a crystallographic C
~2~ axis.
