Encapsulation of a trinuclear silver(i) cluster by two imido-nitrido metalloligands [{Ti(η5-C5Me5)(μ-NH)}3(μ3-N)]

Abstract

Treatment of the metalloligand [{Ti(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(μ-NH)}₃(μ₃-N)] with silver(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate in different molar ratios gives the ionic compounds [Ag{(μ₃-NH)₃Ti₃(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₃(μ₃-N)}₂][O₃SCF₃] and [Ag{(μ₃-NH)₃Ti₃(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₃(μ₃-N)}][O₃SCF₃] or the triangular silver cluster [(CF₃SO₂O)₃Ag₃{(μ₃-NH)₃Ti₃(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₃(μ₃-N)}₂] in which each face is capped by a metalloligand.
