title: Tetrabromo(2,6-dimethylpyridine-N)titanium(IV), a twinned crystal structure
abstract: The reaction of 2,6-dimethylpyridine with TiBr(4) affords the title compound, [TiBr(4)(C(7)H(9)N)], which is the first example of a neutral TiBr(4)L complex (L is a singly bonded ligand). The environment around the Ti atom can be described as a somewhat distorted trigonal bipyramid, with the nitrogen base occupying an equatorial position. The crystal was a non-merohedral twin.
