Trichloro(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) is a versatile catalyst for transesterification reactions and styrene polymerization.

red to bordeaux crystals

It is used as a catalyst in Transesterification reactions and styrene polymerization. It is also used as Piano-stool catalyst.

Pentamethylcyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride has been shown to have mononuclear structure and high molecular weight, which can be confirmed by its crystal x-ray diffraction pattern. It belongs to the class of syndiotactic compounds and has an MM value of 1.3 g/mol. It also has a high degree of crystallinity, which can be seen from its diffraction pattern on a hexamethylenetetramine plate.
