Poly(guanidyl)silanes as a new class of chelating, N-based ligand
Abstract
The series of poly(guanidyl)silanes RnSi{hpp}4−n [hpp = 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2Hpyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidinate; R = Me, n = 1, 2; R = Ph, n = 1] have been synthesised and their coordination behaviour at copper(I) halides investigated.
