Titanium chalcogenide halides

Very little is known about chalcogenide halides of Group IVB elements. Although the existence of sulfide chlorides (45, 274, 329, 365) and of a selenide chloride (329) of titanium was claimed in early publications, their true composition, and even their existence, remains doubtful. They have usually been obtained by the reaction of titanium chlorides with sulfur and selenium, respectively, or with hydrogen sulfide. The synthesis of a pure compound, TiSClj, was published in 1959 (113). It is an intermediate of the reaction of TiCU with HjS.
