The metallation reaction between dibutylmagnesium and 2,6-diisopropyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)aniline gives the unusual monomeric three-coordinate complex (diethyl ether-κO)bis[2,6-diisopropyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)anilido-κN]magnesium(II), [Mg(C15H26NSi)2(C4H10O)] or [Mg{(Me3Si)(2,6-iPr2C6H3)N}2(Et2O)]. This low-coordinate species has a distorted trigonal-planar coordination environment, with an additional short Mg—Cipso contact of 2.799 (2) Å. |
