Amine elimination synthesis of a titanium(IV) N-heterocyclic carbene complex with short intramolecular Cl...C carbene contacts.
The reaction of 1,3-dimesitylimidazolium chloride with Ti(NMe(2))(4) results in the 1,3-dimesitylimadazol-2-ylidene complex of Ti(NMe(2))(2)Cl(2)(3); the X-ray crystal structure of 3 evidences short intramolecular Cl...C(carbene) contacts.
