Highly selective trimerisation of MeNC by a novel titanium imido complex containing a tridentate dianionic ligand

A new type of imido compound [Ti(NBut)L(py)] 1 containing a tripodal dianionic ligand is reported which effects the remarkably selective trimerisation of MeNC; the crystal structures of 1 and [TiL{N(Me)N(But)(C4H3N2Me)}] 2 are described [L = MeC(2-C5H4N)(CH2NSiMe3) 2].
