Abstract
THE single crystal X-ray structure determination of titanium (IV) ethoxide described in the preceding communication establishes the fact that the molecule is a tetramer formed by the stacking of four TiO6-octahedra so that edges are shared (Fig. 1). Dr. Ibers's analysis also confirms the long-accepted belief that intermolecular attachment between Ti(OC2H5)4 molecules is through ethoxide bridges (two per titanium atom) and reveals that two types of intramolecular ethoxide bridges can be discerned in the molecular unit.
