Synthesis and structure of η5-bonded pyrrolyl complexes of calcium and strontium
Abstract
Calcium and strontium diiodide react with 2,5-di-tert-butylpyrrolylsodium in THF yielding [M(pyr*)2(THF)] (M = Ca, Sr; pyr* = NC4H2But2-2,5) for which NMR spectra and the X-ray structures confirm the η5-bonding character of the ligands.
