Popis: Infrared spectra have been recorded between 4000 and 200 cm −1 from 12 CH 3 TiCl 3 in the gas and solid, and 12 CD 3 TiCl 3 in the gas phase. 13 CH 3 TiCl 3 and CHD 2 TiCl 3 have been studied in the gas phase down to 450 cm − . All fundamentals, apart from the torsion and δTiCl modes, are securely located. The δ as CH 3 and ϱCH 3 frequencies are abnormally low, the remaining vibrations of the methyl group being normal for an organometallic compound. The νCH and νCD frequencies are consistent with the unexceptional methyl geometry of a recent electron diffraction investigation, with ∠HCH≈ 110.8°. They show no sign of an “agostic” interaction in the solid state. A force field having five off-diagonal constants has been determined.
