Reactions of titanium tetrachloride (tetraiodide, dichlorodiiodide) with alkylaluminum compounds

Abstract Titanium tetraiodide and titanium dichlorodiiodide are reduced by triisobutylaluminum or diisobutylaluminum iodide to form products analogous to those obtained with titanium tetrachloride. In the reaction products, the preferred site for iodide ligands is titanium, that for chloride ligands, aluminum.
