The titanium metal center in the title compound, [Ti(C19H27NSi)(C16H14)], is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by a eta5-indenyl ligand, a dimethylsilyl-bridged N-cyclobutylamido ligand and an s-cis-eta4-1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene ligand in a 'prone' pi-fashion, revealing a formal divalent Ti center.
