metal-organic compounds
The title ionic solid, [Ti(C2H6N)3(C2H7N)2][Ti(C18BF15N)(C18H2BF15N)Cl(C2H7N)2]·C7H8, (I), comprises a cation with three dimethylamide ligands in the equatorial plane and two dimethylamine ligands positioned axially in a trigonal–bipyramidal geometry about the central TiIV atom. The anion has a highly distorted octahedral structure. The two dimethylamine ligands are coordinated mutually trans. The chloride is trans to the tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron–amide, while the sixth coordination site is occupied by an ortho-F atom of the tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron–amide group in a trans disposition with respect to the tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron–nitride ligand. The most significant feature of the anion is the presence of an unprecedented terminal TiN moiety [1.665 (2) Å], stabilized by coordination to B(C6F5)3, with a TiN—B angle of 169.50 (19)°.
