Crystal structure of (2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-{[(6,6'-dimethyl-2'-oxido-1,1'-biphenyl-2-yl) imino] methyl} phenolato-kappa O-3,N,O') bis(propan-2-olato kappa O) titanium(IV)

In the mononuclear TiIV title complex, [Ti(C29H33NO2)(C3H6O)(2)], the TiNO4 coordination polyhedron comprises an N-atom and two O-atom donors from the dianionic Schiff base ligand and two O-atom donors from monodentate isopropoxide anions. The stereochemistry is distorted trigonal-bipyramidal with the N-donor in an elongated axial site [Ti-N = 2.2540 (17)angstrom], the O-donors having normal TiO bond lengths [1.7937 (14)angstrom (axial)-1.8690 (14)angstrom]. In the crystal, C-center dot center dot center dot pi interactions link molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
