In the previous post[1] we described the orbital interactions involved in stabilising the formation of a Cp₂TiS₅ complex (figure 1 below, X=S) rather than a Cp₂TiS₄ complex when Cp₂TiCl₂ is treated with a mixture of polysulfide dianions – and how these interactions can be “tuned” by variation in the ring atoms.
