Synthesis and crystal structure of the first titanium halide with isolated octahedral clusters, [Ti6C]Cl14
Abstract
[Ti6C]Cl14 is obtained as black, single crystals through metallothermic reduction of titanium(III) chloride with sodium in the presence of a carbon source and crystallizes isostructurally with [Zr6C]Cl14 and [Nb6□]Cl14.
