DICHLORO(ETA(5)-CYCLOPENTADIENYL)([1-(4-METHOXYPHENYL)CYCLOHEXYL]-ETA(5)-CYCLOPENTADIENYL)TITANIUM(IV)

The title molecule, [TiCl2(C5H5)(C18H21O)], has a pseudotetrahedral bent metallocene structure in which the cyclopentadienyl ring is symmetrically bonded to Ti [range of Ti-C distances 2.36(1)-2.41(1)Angstrom], but the substituted cyclopentadienyl ring adopts asymmetrical bonding [Ti-C 2.33(1)-2.48(1)Angstrom] due to the interaction of the large substituent with the Cl(2) atom. The angle C(11)-C(1)-C(21) is 111.1(8)degrees with the large substituent occupying a cis position with respect to the substituted ring.
