Synthesis of Bis [bis (tert-butylcyclopentadienyl) neodymium chloride] and Structural trend of Bis [bis (tertbutylcyclopentadienyl) lanthanide chloride]

The reaction of NdCl3 with 2 equiv. of Na-ButC5H4 in THF(tetrahydrofuran) gives blue crystals [(ButC5H4)2NdCl]2, C36H52Cl2Nd2 (Mr = 844.11 ), which crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P-1. The crystal data are a= 11. 978(1), b=12. 671(4), c=12. 706(2)A, α=105.47(2), β=99. 38(1), γ=93. 15(2)°, V=1825(3)A3, Z=2, Dc=1.53g/cm3, F(000)=450, T=298K, λ(MoKα)= 0. 71069 A ,μ= 14. 97cm-1. Final R= 0. 0390, Rw,= 0. 0376 for 4329 reflections with I≥3σ(Io). The molecule has a dimer structure with two certrosymmetrical chlorine bridges. The structural trend of these analogous complexes is discussed.

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Bis(tetrahydro­pyran)calcium Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide]

Transmetalation of Sn[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ with calcium granules in tetrahydropyran (thp) yields colorless [(thp)₂Ca{N(SiMe₃)₂}₂] ( 1 ) which is soluble in common organic solvents. The calcium center is in a distorted tetrahedral environment with Ca–N and Ca–O bond lengths of 231.08(11) and 240.23(9) pm, respectively. The molecular structure is dominated by steric factors leading to a NCaN bond angle of 119.43(6)°.

Bis[bis (trimethylsilyl) amino] sulfane. 1. Synthesis and Characterization Abstract, The title compound [(CH₃)₃Si]₂N–S–N[Si(CH₃)₃]₂ has been prepared by reaction of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide with sulfur dichloride. Electron absorption, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si, ¹⁶N), and mass spectra are given. The reactivity of the compound has been studied. Im Zusammenhang mit unseren Untersuchungen [1–3] über S-Bis(trimethyl-eilyl)aminoester von Dithiocarbamidsäuren RR′N–CS–S–N[Si(CH₃)₃]₂ haben wir uns mit dem Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]sulfan [(CH₃)₃Si]₂N-S-N[Si(CH₃)₃]₂ befaßt. Diese Verbindung wurde erstmals 1962 von Wannagat u. Kückertz [4] hergestellt und kurz beschrieben. Wolmershäuser u. Mitarb. [5] teilten einige wenige spektroskopische Daten mit; vgl. auch [6, 7].     

Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]silylene,an unstable divalent silicon compound

The title compound, [(Me3Si)2N]2Si: (1), was prepared by the reduction of [(Me3Si)2N]2SiBr2 (2) with potassium graphite at -78 degrees C. Unlike the corresponding germanium and tin compounds, 1 is unstable, but it can be studied in solution at low temperatures. The 29Si NMR chemical shift of 1 measured at -20 degrees C was 223.9 ppm, in good agreement with a value obtained from model calculations of 233 ppm. Reaction of solutions of 1 with methanol or phenol gave the trapping products expected for the silylene, [(Me3Si)2N]2Si(H)OR (R = CH3, C6H5).
