metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [Ti(C5H5)2(CHO2)2], has a `bent metallocene' structural type typically found for Cp2MXY complexes. The Ti-O-C bond angles are larger than in related titanocene alkoxy complexes, suggesting enhanced π-character in the Ti-O bonds of the title compound; however, the Ti-O bond lengths are longer than those in related alkoxy compounds.
