Synthesis and characterisation of new bimetallic alkali metal–magnesium mixed diisopropylamide-acetylides: structural variations in bimetallic lithium- and sodium-heteroleptic magnesiates†‡§
Abstract
The reactivity of the Brønsted basic mixed-metal tris-amide compounds of empirical formula [MMg(NiPr2)3] [where M = Li (1), Na (2)] towards CPh) has been investigated and has led to the synthesis of a series of mixed-metal acetylido-amido-magnesiates. Thus, 1 and 2 molar equivalents of the
CPh)]2 (3) and mono(amido)-bis(acetylido) [(TMEDA)·Na(C
CPh)2Mg(NiPr2)]2 (4) (TMEDA =
