Strontium and Barium Bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinates] from the Addition Reaction of the Alkaline Earth Metal Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amides] and Benzonitrile The reaction of strontium bis[bis trimethylsilyl)amide] with benzonitrile yields strontium bis[N,N′- bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] · 2THF, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn (a = 1845.4(3); b = 131 1,3(2); c = 1838,(3) pm; Z = 4).

The upper benzonitrile complex 2 , crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with {a = 1383.2(2); b = 2589.1(4); c = 1133.7(1) pm; Z = 4}.

The axial bound nitrogen atom of the benzamidinate substitution shows with a value of 213 pm a slightly longer bond distance to the metal center than the one in the equatorial plane (210 pm). The steric strain within the benzamidinate ligand leads to an elongation of the silicon atoms out of the 1,3-diazaallylic moiety under an enlargement of the C? N? Si angle to 131°.

Synthesis and Characterization of Hetero-bimetallic Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanides of Barium and Tin The reaction of barium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] with one equivalent of bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphane in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (dme) yields the heteroleptic dimeric (dme)barium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide. This colorless compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1 259.1(3), b = 1 822.7(4), c = 1 516.1(3) pm, β = 110.54(3)° and Z = 4. The central moiety of the centrosymmetric molecule is the planar Ba₂P₂-cycle with Ba? P-bond lengths of 329 and 334 pm. In the presence of bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]stannylene hetero-bimetallic bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanides of tin(II) and barium are isolated. If the reaction of Ba[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ and Sn[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ in the molar ratio of 1:2 with six equivalents of HP(SiMe₃)₂ is performed in toluene, barium bis{tin(II)-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide]} can be isolated.

The anions {Sn[P(SiMe₃)₂]₃}^? bind as two-dentate ligands to the barium atom which shows the extraordinary low coordination number of four. The addition of tetrahydrofuran (thf) to the above mentioned reaction solution leads to the elimination of tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphane and the formation of thf complexes of barium bis{tin(II)-bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide-trimethylsilylphosphandiide}. The derivative crystallizes from toluene in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 1 301.9(2), b = 2 316.3(3), c = 3 968.7(5) pm, β = 99.29(1)° and Z = 8.     

Synthese,Eigenschaften und Struktur von Amin-Addukten der Lithium-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinkate

Synthesis, Properties, and Structure of the Amine Adducts of Lithium Tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zincates . Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc and the aliphatic amine 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazinane (tmta) yield in n-pentane the 1:1 adduct, the tmta molecule bonds as an unidentate ligand to the zinc atom. Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc · tmta crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with {a = 897.7(3); b = 1 114.4(4); c = 1 627.6(6) pm; α = 90.52(1); β = 103.26(1); γ = 102.09(1)°; Z = 2}. The central C₂ZnN moiety displays a nearly T-shaped configuration with a CZnC angle of 157° and Zn? C bond lengths of 199 pm. The Zn? N distances of 239 pm are remarkably long and resemble the loose coordination of this amine; a nearly complete dissociation of this complex is also observed in benzene. The addition of aliphatic amines such as tmta or tmeda to an equimolar etheral solution of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)methanide and bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc leads to the formation of the amine adducts of lithium tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zincate. Lithium tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zincate · tmeda · 2 Et₂O crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with {a = 1 920.2(4); b = 2 243.7(5); c = 2 390.9(5) pm; Z = 8}. In the solid state solvent separated ions are observed; the lithium cation is distorted tetrahedrally surrounded by the two nitrogen atoms of the tmeda ligand and the oxygen atoms of both the diethylether molecules. The zinc atom is trigonal planar coordinated; the long Zn? C bonds with a value of 209 pm can be attributed to the steric and electrostatic repulsion of the three carbanionic bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl substituents.

The reaction of fluorosilanes with lithiated N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)hydroxylamine in the molar ratio of 1 : 2 leads to the formation of O,O′-fluorosilyl-bis[N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)hydroxylamines]: RSiF[ON(SiMe₃)₂]₂ (R = CMe₃ 13 ; R = C₆H₅ 14 ). 13 could be prepared in the reaction of 1 with LiON(SiMe₃)₂.

COOR′ (A = CH₂, CH₂CH₂, CHCH₃, CH₂CH₂SH, CHCH(CH₃)₂,…) when allowed to react with hexahydro-s-triazines of the aminoacid esters. Reactions of the alkoxycarbonyl-P-silylesters with NaOR or NaOH result in the corresponding mono-, di-, or trisodium salts. With mineral acids decarboxylation occurs, but H? P(O)(OH)? CH₂? NH? A?

An X-ray structure determination (R_w = 0.040) shows the compound to be built up from two [lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide] moieties which are connected via a bridging DME molecule. Two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium atom are occupied by a chelating DME ligand. The Li? Si distance of 263 pm is considerably longer than the sum of covalent radii; further characteristic mean bond lengths and angles are: Si? Si 234, Li? O 200, O? C 144, O?O (biß) 264 pm; Si? Si?

Trimethylsilyl Derivatives of Vb-Elements. VI. Synthesis, Molecular and Crystal Structure of Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)distibine Compared with Tetraphenyldistibine Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)distibine already isolated by Breunig et al. [9] from cleavage reactions of tris(trimethylsilyl)stibine may also be obtained in high yields from lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)antimonide · 2THF and 1,2-dibromoethane in n-pentane. This compound intensely red in the solid state, but only slightly yellow in solution or in the melt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 680.6(1); b = 1672.8(2); c = 1190.0(1) pm; β = 119.01(5)°; Z = 2 at +20°C. An X-ray structure determination (R = 0.017) shows the bis(trimethylsilyl)-stibino groups to be arranged in a transoid position. Characteristic bond lengths and angles are: Sb? Sb 286.7(1); Sb? Si 259.4 pm; Si? Sb? Si 94.46(3); Sb? Sb? Si 98.68(3) and 94.43(3)°. As in similiar 2,2′,5,5′-tetramethyldistibolyl published recently by Ashe III et al. [8] this crystal structure, too, is characterized by a nearly linear sequence of Sb? Sb groups. Compared with the sum of van-der-Waals radii the intermolecular Sb-Sb contact in such a chain is shortened from 440 to 399 pm. This probably allows electronic interactions of unknown type responsible for the colour of the crystals. In keeping with this assumption an analogous formation of chains is not found in solid, only yellow tetraphenyldistibine 5 the structure of which has already been studied by Rehder et al. [44].
