Tp*Cu(i)–CN–SiL2–NC–Cu(i)Tp* – a hexacoordinate Si-complex as connector for redox active metals via π-conjugated ligands

Abstract

Hexacoordinate silicon complexes L2SiX2 (L = a 2-benzoylpyrrol-1-yl derivative, X = CN, NCS) were synthesized from L2SiCl2 by ligand exchange with trimethylsilyl reagents Me3SiX. In the presence of [Tp*CuNCMe] and Me3SiCN the silicon complex L2Si(NC(CuTp*))2 was obtained, which contains a linear Cu–CN–Si–NC–Cu unit (Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borato).
