Tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium

The compound is generally classified as a metalorganic species, meaning that its properties are strongly influenced by the organic ligands but the compound lacks metal-carbon bonds.

The prefix "tetrakis" refers the presence of four of the same ligand, in this case dimethylamides.

Tetrakis(dimethylamino)titanium is a conventional Ti(IV) compound in the sense that it is tetrahedral and diamagnetic.

It is prepared from titanium tetrachloride (which is also tetrahedral, diamagnetic, and volatile) by treatment with lithium dimethylamide:[2] Like many amido complexes, TDMAT is quite sensitive toward water, and its handling requires air-free techniques.

TMAT has been used in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD).
