The title compound, [Ti(C5H5)2(C9H11F12NO4P2)], is a four-membered titanacycle obtained from the reaction of Cp2Ti(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) and CH3N[P(OCH2CF3)2]2 {N,N-bis[bis(trifluoroethoxy)phosphanyl]methylamine, tfepma}. The TiII atom is coordinated by two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligands and the chelating tfepma ligand in a strongly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The molecule is located on a mirror plane.

To a stirred solution of Cp2Ti(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (150 mg, 0.430 mmol) in 5 ml of toluene was added a solution of tfepma (210 mg, 0.430 mmol) in 5 ml of toluene at room temperature. The colour of the reaction mixture instantly changed from brown to dark green. After additional stirring for 1 h, all volatiles were removed in vacuum and the resulting green precipitate was dissolved in 7 ml of toluene and stored at -30°C for several weeks. The resulting dark green single crystals were filtered, washed with cold n-hexane and dried in vacuum. Yield: 96% (274 mg, 0.412 mmol).
H5A and H5B were found from the difference Fourier map and refined freely. All other H atoms were placed in idealized positions with d(C—H) = 0.95 Å (CH), 0.99 Å (CH2) and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) fixed at 1.2 Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The reaction of tfepma with the titanocene precursor Cp2Ti(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) was investigated to synthesize a new 4-membered hetero-metallacycle. In this reaction, the spectator ligand Me3SiC2SiMe3 is replaced by the chelating tfepma ligand, which is binding over both phosphorus atoms to result in the four membered metallacycle.
In the title compound the titanium center is coordinated by two Cp units and the chelating tfepma ligand (Fig. 1). The molecule is located on a mirror plane which passes through H5A, C5, N1, Ti1, C7, H7, C11 and H11. The geometry at the titanium center is found to be strongly distorted tetrahedral. The largest deviation from the ideal tetrahedral angle is observed for P1—Ti1—P1i [63.94 (2)°, symmetry code to generate equivalent atoms: (i) x, -y + 1/2, z]. The four membered metallacycle Ti1,P1,N1,P1i is planar with a mean deviation from the best plane of 0.015 Å. The following bond lengths and angles of the cyclic unit were observed: Ti1—P1 = 2.4266 (4) Å, P1—N1 = 1.696 (1) Å, P1—N1—P1i = 98.51 (8)°.
