Amidobis[eta5-1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl]titanium(III).
The title compound, [Ti(C11H21Si2)2(NH2)], crystallizes as a bent metallocene, with the NH2 group oriented to maximize the pi interaction between the N atom and the Ti(III) center. The increased pi bonding is reflected in a short Ti-N bond length of 1.933 (3) A.
