Dichloro[N,N'-ethylenebis(3-tert-butyl-5-methylsalicylideneiminato)-N,N',O,O']titanium(IV), [TiCl₂(C₂₆H₃₄N₂O₂)]

The synthetic route to obtain single crystals of dichloro{6,6'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-[1,2-ethanediylbis(nitrilomethylidyne-N)]- 4,4'-dimethyldiphenolato-O,O'}titanium(IV), is described. The X-ray analysis reveals that the title compound is a monomer with four molecules in the unit cell. There are only weak van der Waals-type forces between neighboring molecules. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c (No. 14). The Ti atom has a distorted octahedral coordination with chloride ions in trans positions.
