(1-N-p-toluenesulfonyl)ethylamino cyclopentadiene titaniumdichloride

Ortep of complex
Figure 2: View of C14H15Cl2NO2STi showing the labelling of the non-H atoms. Thermal ellipsoids are shown at 40% probability levels.

An interesting feature of this structure is that the oxygen atom O(2) is positioned above the central titanium atom. (manipulation of the chime structure above will clearly show this. The distance Ti-O(2) is 2.556 A, well within bonding distance. As a result of this the N-S=O fragment of the ligand can be regarded as a bidentate fragment in which one of the lone pairs on one of the oxygen atoms coordinates to titanium. An active molecule (in .pdb format) is available here.
