The molecule of the title compound, [Ti2(CH3)2(CH3O)2(C11H15O)4] or {[Ti(Me)(μ-OCH3)(OC6H3CMe3-2-Me-6)]2}, has a centrosymmetric, dimeric structure with a distorted square pyramidal array about each titanium atom. The methoxide ligands form an asymmetric bridge between the two TiIV atoms [Ti—O bond lengths of 1.9794 (12) and 2.0603 (12) Å] with the two phenolato ligands occupying the remaining basal sites [Ti—O 1.8218 (11) and 1.8135 (11) Å]. The Ti—O—C phenolato bond angles are similar at 161.24 (10) and 160.66 (11)°. The methyl ligand attached to the metal atom has a Ti—C bond length of 2.0878 (17) Å.

The title adduct, [TiCl2(C23H30O2)(C13H10O]·0.5C13H10·C4H10O, is a monomer with a trigonal–bypyramidal coordination sphere of the TiIV atom in which the ligand O atoms of the bidentate diphenolate anion are located in both apical and equatorial positions. Chloride ligands occupy the remaining two equatorial sites of the trigonal bypyramid with the fluoren-9-ol O atom occupying the other apical site. The hydroxy group H atom of this latter group is hydrogen bonded to an O atom of a non-coordinating diethyl ether molecule. The title compound also contains a further fluorene solvent molecule, which lies across a centre of symmetry and which is equally disordered over an inversion centre.

The title complex, [Ti2Cl4{CH3C(CH2O)2(CH2OH)}2], lies across a centre of symmetry with a diethyl ether solvent molecule hydrogen bonded to the –CH2OH groups on either side of it. The TiIV atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by a tripodal ligand and two terminal chloride atoms. There are three coordination modes for the tripodal ligand distinguishable on the basis of their very different Ti—O bond lengths. For the terminal alkoxo ligand, the Ti—O distance is 1.760 (1) Å, the asymmetric bridge system has Ti—O bond lengths of 1.911 (1) and 2.048 (1) Å. The Ti—O bond length for the alcohol O atom is the longest at 2.148 (1) Å.
