Bis[2-(benzyliminomethyl)pyrrol-1-ido-κ²N,N′]bis(dimethylamido-κN)titanium(IV)

Abstract

The mononuclear title complex, [Ti(C2H6N)2(C12H11N2)2], was synthesized by the reaction of 1-phenyl-N-[(pyrrol-2-yl)methyl­idene]methanamine with Ti(NMe2)4. The TiIV atom is coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry by four N atoms from two derivatized methanamine ligands and two N atoms from two dimethyl­amide ions. The dihedral angles between the pyrrole and phenyl rings in the bidentate ligands are 62.36 (9) and 78.32 (8)°. In the crystal, a weak π–π stacking inter­action [centroid–centroid distance = 3.864 (2) Å] involving centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules is observed.
