Ab initio geometry optimizations for a series of azatitanatranes, ZTi[−NR(CH2)2−]3N, where Z = CH3, NH2, OH, F, and N(CH3)2 and R = H and CH3, have been performed using a triple-ζ basis set for Ti and a 6-31G(d) basis set for all other atoms. An analysis of the transannular Ti−N interaction indicates that it is significantly stronger than that found in the analogous azasilatranes. In addition there is reasonable agreement between the calculated structure and the available X-ray data for Z = N(CH3)2 and R = CH3. Of special significance in this calculation is the fact that theory correctly predicts that the axial Ti−N bond is shorter than the equatorial Ti−N bonds.
