Trichloro(indenyl)titanium(IV), with the CAS number 84365-55-9, is a coordination compound of titanium that features an indenyl ligand and three chlorine atoms coordinated to a titanium center in the +4 oxidation state. This compound is typically characterized by its role as a catalyst in various organic reactions, particularly in polymerization processes. It exhibits a distinctive structure where the indenyl group, a five-membered aromatic ring, stabilizes the titanium center, enhancing its reactivity. The presence of chlorine atoms contributes to its electrophilic nature, making it effective in facilitating reactions with electron-rich substrates. Trichloro(indenyl)titanium(IV) is often handled under inert atmospheres due to its sensitivity to moisture and air, which can lead to hydrolysis and degradation. In terms of physical properties, it is generally a solid at room temperature and may exhibit color variations depending on its purity and form. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound, as it can be hazardous if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
