Inner shell spectroscopy of (5-C5H5)2TiCl2, (5-C5H5)TiCl3, and TiCl4

Oscillator strengths for C 1s excitation of gas phase Cp 2 TiCl 2 and CpTiCl 3 (Cp = η 5 -C 5 H 5 ), and Cl 2p and Ti 2p excitation of gas phase Cp 2 TiCl 2 , CpTiCl 3 , and TiCl 4 have been derived from electron energy loss spectra recorded under electric dipole scattering conditions. The C 1s spectra are interpreted with the aid of semiempirical extended Hückel calculations and comparisons with the C 1s spectra of other cyclopentadienyl complexes. The Ti 2p spectra are interpreted using the extended Hückel results and comparisons with atomic multiplet–crystal field calculations for Ti 4+ taken from the literature.
