N2 - Hydrolysis of Cp*TiCl3, Cp* = η5-C5(CH3)5, under basic conditions yields a titanoxane cage compound, (Cp*Ti)406(1), having an adamantane-like, tetrahedral Ti4O6core structure. This compound reacts with 0.5 equiv of TiCl4in toluene solution to form the bicyclic species (Cp*Ti)4O5Cl (2) in quantitative yield, Here, one oxygen of the Ti4O6tetrahedron in 1 has been replaced by two terminal chlorine ligands. Compound 2 reacts with TiCl4unselectively to produce three new compounds, (Cp*Ti)4O4Cl4(3), (Cp*Ti)3O3Cl3(4), and (Cp*Ti)2OCl4(5), plus Cp*TiCl3. Compound 5 can be isolated from this mixture in analytically pure, crystalline form. Compound 4 can be prepared in high yield from Cp*TiCl3and excess water in acetone solution.
