Chloridobis{N-[(dimethyl-amino)-dimethyl-sil-yl]-2,6-dimethyl-anilido-κN,N'}titanium(III).

ABSTRACT: In the monomeric title titanium(III) compound, [Ti(C(12)H(21)N(2)Si)(2)Cl], the metal atom is surrounded by two N-silylated anilide ligands in an N,N''-chelating mode. The two ends of the N-Si-N chelating unit exhibit different affinity to the metal center. The Ti-N(amine) bond is longer than the Ti-N(anilide) bond by about 0.29 Å. The two ligands are arranged trans to each other and the mol-ecule demonstrates a pseudo-twofold rotation along the axis of the Ti-Cl bond. The five-coordinate Ti atom demonstrates a highly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry.
