56. - ions initially diametrically opposed about this cation in order to minimize Coulombic repulsion between the two negative charges and occupying pseudoaxial positions in a sawhorse arrangement. Introduction of a degree of covalent character into the Ti-Cl bonds will lead to greater use of the valence orbitals at the Ti atom and the incorporation of further d character into all Ti-X bonds. Consequently, the Cl-Ti-Cl angle will close down and the C-Ti-C angle will open up from 90° until the combined covalent and electrostatic interactions reach a minimum on the potential energy surface. Such a model makes qualitative sense of the observed valence angles, but suffers from the drawback that Ti s character is again concentrated in the Ti-C bonds, a conclusion at odds with the population analyses we have performed.
