“…However, full structural data for only one first-row transition metal ion, Vin (Cotton, Fair, Lewis, Mott, Ross, Schultz & Williams, 1984), and one second-row transition metal ion, Ru m (Bernhard, Btirgi, Hauser, Lehmann & Ludi, 1982), forming [M(H20)6]X3 complexes have been reported. The p-toluenesulfonate anion (pts-) has proved successful in the past in crystallizing hexaaqua ions such as those of Ru n and Ru In (Bernhard et al, 1982), Cu n (Couldwell, Prout, Robey, Taylor & Rossotti, 1978) and Zn n (Hargreaves, 1957). We report here the structure of the p-toluenesulfonate salt of [Ti(H20)6] 3+, [Ti(H20)6](p-CH3C6H4SO3)3.3H20, (I).…”
