Abstract:  The magnetic properties of complex TiCl₃•3C₄H₈O (I) as well as the products of its thermal decomposition TiCI₃•2C₄H₈O (II) and TiCl₃•C₄H₈O (HI) in the temperature range 77—300 К were studied using the Gouy method. The obtained magnetochemical data in the cases (I) and (II) are consistent with their assumed monomelic structure which, for the complex (I) was confirmed by crystal structure determination. In the case (III) the formation of polymeric species was confirmed. Cryomagnetic data are com­pleted by the data of diffuse reflectance spectra and finally a scheme for thermal decomposition of TiCl₃ • 3C₄H₈O is proposed.
