Tetrachloro[2-(phenylamino)pyridinato]titanate(IV) with a 2-(Phenylamino)pyridinium Counterion

The title salt, 2-(Phenylamino)pyridinium tetrachloro[2(phenylamino)pyridinato-N,N']titanate(IV), (C₁₁H₁₁N₂)[TiCl₄(C₁₁H₉N₂)], is a product of the reaction of titanium tetrachloride and 2-(phenylamino)pyridine. The coordinated deprotonated aminopyridine forms a four-membered chelate ring. Titanium has a pseudo-octahedral coordination sphere. A second 2-(phenylamino)pyridine residue behaves as a proton acceptor and is a counterion in the solid state.
