Di-μ-chlorido-bis[dichloridobis(methylamido-κN)bis(methylamine-κN)titanium(IV)]

Abstract

The title compound, [Ti(2)Cl(6)(C(2)H(6)N)(2)(C(2)H(7)N)(2)], is a binuclear octahedral complex lying about an inversion centre. There are four different chloride environments, two terminal [Ti-Cl = 2.2847 (5) and 2.3371 (5) Å] and two bridging [Ti-Cl = 2.4414 (5) and 2.6759 (5) Å], with the Ti-Cl distances being strongly influenced by both the ligand trans to the chloride and whether or not the chloride anion is bridging between the two Ti(IV) centres. The compound forms a two-dimensional network in the solid state, with weak intermolecular C-H···Cl interactions giving rise to a planar network in the (10 ̅2) plane.
