Tetrachloro[2-(phenylamino)pyridinato]titanate(IV) with a 2-(Phenylamino)pyridinium Counterion

The title salt, 2-(phenylamino)pyridinium tetrachloro[2- (phenylamino)pyridinato-N,N']titanate(IV), (C11H11N2)-[TiCl4(C11H9N2)], is a product of the reaction of titanium tetrachloride and 2-(phenylamino)pyridine. The coordinated deprotonated aminopyridine forms a four-membered chelate ring. Titanium has a pseudooctahedral coordination sphere. A second 2-(phenylamino)pyridine residue behaves as a proton acceptor and is a counterion in the solid state.
