The title compound, [Ti4I4O4(C6H7)4], displays the same geometric features as the analogous chloro complex: the central eight-membered (Ti-O)4 ring deviates appreciably from planarity. The cyclopentadienyl and iodo ligands lie alternately above and below the ring. Approximate twofold symmetry is observed. The Ti—I and Ti—O bond lengths lie in the ranges 2.657 (4)–2.673 (4) and 1.763 (15)–1.845 (15) Å, respectively.
