M. S. Balakrishna, R. Panda and J. T. Mague

Abstract: The title compound, [Ti(C₅H₇O₂)₂(C₁₇H₁₈O₂)], was synthesized by the reaction of Ti(acac)₂Cl₂ (acac = acetylacetonate) with one equivalent of the diol {[HOC₆H₂(Me)₂](-CH₂)[(Me)₂C₆H₂OH]} in the presence of sodium acetate. The coordination about the Ti atom is slightly distorted octahedral and the bisphenoxo ligand adopts an `open book' conformation.
