Chloroberyllate mit Stickstoff‐Donorliganden. Die Kristallstrukturen von (Ph4P)[BeCl3(Py)], (Ph4P)2[(BeCl3)2(TMEDA)], (Ph4P)[BeCl2{(Me3SiN)2CPh}] und (Ph4P)2[BeCl4] · 2CH2Cl2

Chloroberyllates with Nitrogen Donor Ligands. Crystal Structures of (Ph₄P)BeCl₃(py)], (Ph₄P)₂(BeCl₃)₂(tmeda)], (Ph₄P)BeCl₂{(Me₃SiN)₂CPh}], and (Ph₄P)₂BeCl₄] · 2CH₂Cl₂ The title compounds were obtained as colourless, moisture sensitive crystals by reactions of (Ph₄P)₂Be₂Cl₆] with pyridine, tmeda (N, N′‐tetramethylethylendiamine), or with the silylated benzamidine PhC—N(SiMe₃)₂(NSiMe₃)], whereas the tetrachloro beryllate was isolated as a by‐product from a solution in dichloromethane in the presence of the silylated phosphaneimine Me₃SiNP(tol)₃. All compounds were characterized by crystal structure determinations and by IR spectroscopy.
