Abstract

[(DippNH)2Al(µ-NHDipp)2Li·thf] 1 and [thf·Li(µ-NHCy)3Sn(µ-NHCy)3Li·thf]·C6H5Me 2 are produced from the reactions of AlCl3 and SnCl4 or MeAlCl2 and MeSn(NMe2)3 with the apporopriate primary amido lithium precursors [RNHLi; R = 2,6-Pri2C6H3 (Dipp), C6H11 (Cy)]; both complexes have ion-paired structures in the solid state with the retention of potentially reactive N–H functionality providing precursors for heterometallic species containing [M(NR)x(NHR)n – x](1 + x)– anions (M = Al, n = 4; M = Sn, n = 6).
