Octakis(~-acetato-O, O')-bis(/~-isopropoxy)-hexakis(isopropoxy)-di-/x3-oxo-di-/~-oxohexatitanium, [Ti6(CH3COO)8(O~Pr)804], Mr = 1296.4, triclinic, P1, a = 9.361 (3), b = 11.852 (4), c = 15.791 (5) A, a = 108.54 (3), /3 = 96.54 (3), y = 106.07 (3) °, V = 1556 (2) A3, Z = 1, D,, = 1.32 _ 0-02, Dx = 1.38 Mg m -3, h,(Mo Ka) = 0.71069 A,/~ = 0.798 mm-1, F(000) = 676, T = 298 K, R = 0.059 for 2114 independent reflections. This structure can be described as a hexamer in which Ti atoms, in an octahedral environment, are bridged with the O atoms of oxo, propyl and acetyl groups.
