J. Stecher. Chemical Formula = [ Ti ( S2CN(CH3)2)3 (eta5-C5H5) ]

The complex has an unusually large number of donor atoms bonded to Titanium, and crystallizes with a benzene (solvent) molecule.

The complex contains THREE dimethyldithiocarbamate anions (dmdtc); a planar anion of -1 charge with TWO sulfur donor atoms per ligand. The anion acts as a bidentate ligand, and is shown below.

Electron Count:
3 dmdtc = -3 charge and 12 electrons
eta-5 cyclopentadienyl anion = -1 charge and 6 electrons
Titanium = +4 charge and ZERO electrons
18-electron rule obeyed.
