(N-[2-(eta[5]cyclopentadienyl)ethyl]-4-toluenesulfonamido-N,O)(tetrahydrofuran-O)bis(trifluoromethanesulfonato-O)titanium(II).

The title compound, [Ti(CF(3)O(3)S)(2)(C(14)H(15)NO(2)S)(C(4)H(8)O)], contains a unique ligand system in which the Ti ion is bound to the N and O atoms of a 2-p-toluenesulfonamide ligand, which is linked by an ethyl group to a coordinated cyclopentadiene moiety. The distorted octahedral geometry about the Ti ion is completed by two trifluoromethanesulfonate ligands and a tetrahydrofuran molecule. Comparison with related compounds shows that both the Ti-N and Ti-O bonds of the sulfonamide, although longer than normal values, indicate significant bonding interactions.
