Abstract: | The reactivity of the Br?nsted basic mixed-metal tris-amide compounds of empirical formula MMg(N(i)Pr2)3] where M = Li (1), Na (2)] towards phenylacetylene (HCtriple bond, length as m-dash]CPh) has been investigated and has led to the synthesis of a series of mixed-metal acetylido-amido-magnesiates. Thus, 1 and 2 molar equivalents of the alkyne with MMg(N(i)Pr2)3] produce heteroanionic bis(amido)-mono(acetylido) LiMg(N(i)Pr2)2(Ctriple bond, length as m-dash]CPh)]2 (3) and mono(amido)-bis(acetylido) (TMEDA) x Na(Ctriple bond, length as m-dash]CPh)2Mg(N(i)Pr2)](2) (4) (TMEDA = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) respectively. X-Ray crystallographic studies reveal that the new compounds adopt a different structural motif. Complex can be defined as an inverse crown structure, having a cationic eight-atom (NaNMgN)2]2+ ring which hosts in its core two acetylido ligands. On the other hand, adopts a tetranuclear NaMgMgNa near-linear chain arrangement, held together by acetylido and amido bridges. The metal coordination geometries in both structures are distorted tetrahedral, and the sodium cations at the end of the mixed-metal chain carry terminal chelating TMEDA ligands. 1H and 13C NMR spectral data recorded in C6D6 solutions are also reported for and , and are consistent with the solid-state structures being retained in solution. |
