A new class of five-co-ordinate titanium complexes containing a polyfunctional amido ligand. Crystal structure of [TiBr2{CH(2-C5H4N)(CH2NSiMe3)2}]

Abstract

A new class of titanium amido halides containing a tripodal ligand with two amido and one pyridyl-N function, which are potential building blocks for the synthesis of oligonuclear complexes, has been prepared; a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of [TiBr₂{CH(2-C₅H₄N)(CH₂NSiMe₃)₂}] has established its five-co-ordinate molecular geometry.
