Treatment of titanium tetrachloride with a range of organothiols affords adducts of the formula TiCl4(HSR)2 in 77-89% yields. Reaction of titanium tetrachloride with organic sulfides gives sulfide adducts of the formula TiCl4(SR2)2 in 87-98% yields. These complexes are volatile and monomeric with cis-organosulfur ligands. Treatment of titanium tetrachloride with methyl disulfide affords the adduct (TiCl4)2(CH3SSCH3) in 98% yield, which adopts a dinuclear structure with a Ti2Cl8 core and a bridging disulfide ligand. The crystal structures of TiCl4(C4H8S)2 and (TiCl4)2(CH3SSCH3) were determined. The relevance of these observations to the chemical vapor deposition of titanium disulfide and trisulfide films is discussed.
