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

Abstract

In the title compound, [Ti2(C16H14N2O2)2O2]·2CHCl3, the TiIVatom in the centrosymmetric complex has a distorted octahedral N2O4coordination environment and is linkedviatwo μ2-oxido bridges into a dinuclear centrosymmetric complex, with a Ti...Ti separation of 2.7794 (8) Å. In the salen (N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylimine)) ligand, the two salicylimine units make a dihedral angle of 45.31 (5)°. The complex molecules are stacked parallel to [100], forming channels in which the solvent chloroform molecules are located. C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions between the complex molecules and the solvent molecules consolidate the crystal packing.
