| Abstract: | The reaction of the imide–nitride complex {Ti(η5‐C5Me5)(μ‐NH)}3(μ3‐N)] with potassium iodide in pyridine at room temperature affords the adduct di‐μ‐iodido‐1:1′κ4I‐bis{tri‐μ3‐imido‐1:2:3κ3N;1:2:4κ3N;1:3:4κ3N‐μ3‐nitrido‐2:3:4κ3N‐tris2,3,4(η5)‐pentamethylcyclopentadienyl](pyridine‐1κN)‐tetrahedro‐potassiumtrititanium(IV)}, K2Ti6(C10H15)6I2N2(NH)6(C5H5N)2] or (C5H5N)(μ‐I)K{(μ3‐NH)3Ti3(η5‐C5Me5)3(μ3‐N)}]2. The crystal structure contains two KTi3N4] cube‐type units held together by two bridging I atoms. There is a centre of inversion located in the middle of this unprecedented discrete K2I2 unit. The geometry around K is best described as distorted trigonal prismatic, with three imide groups, two bridging I atoms and one pyridine ligand. |
