The first example of a Si-bridged tris(pyridyl) ligand; synthesis and structure of [MeSi(2-C5H4N)3LiX] (X = 0.2Br, 0.8Cl)
Abstract
The low-temperature reaction of MeSiCl3 with 2-Li–C5H4N (1 ∶ 3 equivalents) in thf gives [MeSi(2-C5H4N)3LiX]
(X = 0.2Br, 0.8Cl), containing the first example of a Si-bridged tris(pyridyl)
