A reaction of Cp2Ti(SH)2 with n-BuSnCl(OH)2 gave two unusual ionic compounds; the cation in both is a hexatitanium cluster, [Cp6Ti6O8]2+, while the anion is a six membered cyclic (chair form) [n-Bu3Sn3Cl(SH)3(S)3]− in one and acyclic [n-Bu3Sn3Cl3(SH)3(S)2]− in the other. Besides X-ray crystallography, theoretical studies have also been completed to understand the structures of these complexes.
