P. Gomezsal et al., SYNTHESIS AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF THE FIRST ORGANOMETALLIC NITRIDECUBANE - [(TI(ETA(5)-C(5)ME(5)))(4)(MU(3)-N)(4)], Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (21), 1995, pp. 2185-2186
The ammonolysis of [Ti(eta(5)-C(5)Me(5))(NMe(2))(3)] at 90 degrees C a
ffords the nitride complex [{Ti(eta(5)-C(5)Me(5))}(4)(mu(3)-N)(4)]; th
e X-ray crystal structure analysis shows a Ti4N4 core clearly similar
to the structural motif of cubic titanium nitride.
