Preparation, structure, reactions

The traditional method involves treatment of titanium tetrachloride with excess hydrogen fluoride:

TiCl4 + 4 HF → TiF4 + 4 HCl

Purification is by sublimation, which involves reversible cracking of the polymeric structure.[3] X-ray crystallography reveals that the Ti centres are octahedral, but conjoined in an unusual columnar structure.[4]

TiF4 forms adducts with many ligands. One example is cis-TiF4(MeCN)2, which is formed by treatment with acetonitrile.[5]
