A1 Mena Montoro, Miguel A1 Royo Gracia, Pascual A1 Serrano Roche, Ricardo K1 Gas phase electron diffraction K1 GED K1 Methyl groups K1 Ciencia K1 Química inorgánica K1 Science K1 Chemistry, inorganic AB The thermal average molecular structure of Me3TiCp★ has been determined by gas phase electron diffraction (GED). The GED data are consistent with a molecular model in which the TiMe3 fragment has C3v symmetry and the TiCp★ fragment has C5v symmetry. No static tilt of the methyl groups attached to titanium can be detected, although a flattening of the methyl groups with Ti-C-H 103.8(1.2)° is obtained. The Ti-C(Me) bond distance is 210.7(5) pm, and the Ti-C(Cp★) distance 238.0(5) pm.
