Di-μ-oxido-bis({2,2′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato}titanium(IV)) chloroform disolvate

Abstract

In the title structure, [Ti2(C16H16N2O2)2O2]·2CHCl3, the Ti atom is coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry by the O,N,N′,O′ donor set of the salalen ligand and by two μ2-oxide O atoms, which bridge two Ti(salalen) fragments into a centrosymmetric dimeric unit. In the central Ti2(μ2-O)2 fragment, the metal–oxygen distances are significantly different [1.7962 (19) and 1.9292 (19) Å]. In the crystal, the chloro­form mol­ecule is anchored via an N—H⋯Cl and a bifurcated C—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bond. Slipped π–π stacking [shortest C⋯C distance = 3.585 (4) Å] and C—H⋯π inter­actions contribute to the coherence of the structure.
