โœฆ Synopsis


The titanium bismuthide Ti 8 Bi 9 has been prepared by reaction of the elemental components in evacuated, sealed silica tubes and also by arc-melting. Its crystal structure is of a new type, which was determined from single-crystal X-ray data: P4/nmm, a โ€ซุโ€ฌ 1027.7(1) pm, c โ€ซุโ€ฌ 737.5(1) pm, Z โ€ซุโ€ฌ 2, R : 0.027 for 553 structure factors and 32 variable parameters. The titanium atoms occupy four different sites: two with octahedral and two with square-antiprismatic bismuth coordination. The bismuth atoms are located at three different sites with four, five, and seven titanium neighbors. An analysis of the Ti-Bi bonding distances (covering the range between 282 and 314 pm) leads to the conclusion that there are Ti-Ti bonding interactions (at distances between 293 and 307 pm). In addition, some weakly bonding Bi-Bi interactions (334-353 pm) are assumed. The compound Hf 8 Bi 9 has the same structure: a โ€ซุโ€ฌ 1071.8(1) pm,

The reaction of 9-substituted trimethyltinfluorenes with TiCI4 in hexanes at -40ยฐC leads to unstable fluorenyltitanium(IV) trichlorides which thermal radical decomposition gives quantitatively TiCl3 and corresponding bifluorenes: (CI3H9)2 (3a), (9-EtCt3Hs)2 (3b) and (9-SiMe3CI3Hs)2 (3e).
