title: Tight encapsulation of a "naked" chloride in an imidotitanium hexanuclear host.
abstract: Treating the imidotitanium dimer [Ti(μ-NAr)(NMe2)2]2 (Ar = 2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3) with excess Me3SiCl affords the hexanuclear complex [{Ti(═NAr)Cl2}6(Cl)](-)[Q](+). The self-assembled hexameric cage arrangement encapsulates a chloride ion guest that provides evidence of new host-guest chemistry in this area, while the cationic part is composed of mixtures of the Q(+) cations Me2NHSiMe3(+) and Me2N(SiMe3)2(+).
