Summary
Complexes of overall formula TiAl2X8 · Ar (X = Cl, Br or I, Ar = benzene or hexamethylbenzene) and the complexes containing various amounts of Br or I in addition to Cl were prepared both by a direct synthesis — the reduction of titanium tetrahalide by aluminium in the aromatic solvent and in excess of the corresponding aluminium halide — and by halogen exchange between the complexes and aluminium halides. The interpretation of the electronic spectra of the complexes is given on the assumption of pseudooctahedral symmetry of the ligand field. The values of 10 Dq and B obtained are compatible with the assignment.
