Decamethyltitanocene dichloride is an organotitanium compound with the formula Cp*2TiCl2 (where Cp* is C5(CH3)5, derived from pentamethylcyclopentadiene). It is a red solid that is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. The complex has been the subject of extensive research. It is a precursor to many organotitanium complexes. The complex is related to titanocene dichloride, which lacks the methyl groups.
