Titanium tetrachloride reacts rapidly with trichloro-, tribromo- and methyldichlorophosphine in the presence of t-butyl chloride to give compounds containing a phosphonium cation R1R2PX2+ (R1 = t-butyl, R2 = chloride, bromide, or methyl, X = chloride or bromide) and the principal metal-containing anion, Ti2Cl9−. For tribromophosphine and t-butyl chloride a stoichiometric product, [ButPBr3][Ti2Cl9] was obtained which was characterized using vibrational spectroscopy. The other reactions gave non-stoichiometric materials, the sublimates of which may contain higher polymeric anions whilst the residues contained TiCl5− along with the parent dimeric anion.Zirconium tetrachloride and titanium tetrabromide reacted in a similar way to give the new ions Zr2Cl9− and Ti2Br9− in stoichiometric reactions.

A series of 5-(alkyloxy)thianthrenium perchlorates has been made in which the alkyl group is primary (1a-1p) and secondary (2a-2g). Preparations were carried out by reaction of the corresponding alkanol with thianthrene cation radical perchlorate in CH2Cl2 solution followed by precipitation of the perchlorate salt with dry ether. 1H NMR spectroscopy reveals that the presence of a stereogenic center in the alkyl group causes inequivalence in the ordinarily paired protons (e.g., H-4, H-6) of the thianthrenium ring. Reaction of iodide and bromide ion with primary alkyl-group compounds (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl) gave the alkyl halide in very good yield and by a second-order kinetic displacement. The second product was thianthrene 5-oxide (ThO). Rate constants for some of these reactions are reported. Reaction of secondary alkyl group compounds (e.g., 2-propyl, 2-pentyl, 2-hexyl, and 3-hexyl) with iodide ion gave good yields of alkyl iodide but also increasing evidence for a side reaction at the sulfonium sulfur, leading to I2, thianthrene, and secondary alkanol. Decomposition of some compounds at 100°C in solution (acetonitrile or 1,2-dichloroethane) was studied and gave alkene(s) and ThO.Key words: thianthrene cation radical, 5-(alkyloxy)thianthrenium perchlorates.
