Titanocene dichloride is the organotitanium compound with the formula (η5-C5H5)2TiCl2 commonly abbreviated as Cp2TiCl2. This metallocene is a common reagent in organometallic and organic synthesis. It exists as a bright red solid that slowly hydrolyzes in air. Cp2TiCl2 does not adopt the typical sandwich structure like ferrocene due to the 4 ligands around the metal centre but rather takes on a distorted tetrahedral shape.
