Abstract

Reactions of LiAlR₄ and LiGaH₄ with Me ₃SiNCNSiMe₃ yield, respectively, the monomeric hexacoordinate Al(Me₃SiNCHNSiMe₃)₃ (1) and Ga(Me₃SiNCHNSiMe₃)₃, (2) metal amidinate compounds. A unique feature of the work is the creation of the previously unknown bidentate [Me₃SiNCHNSiMe₃] anion ligand which shows the propensity to fully encapsulate the Al and Ga metal centers despite potential steric crowding associated with the six-fold coordination. Compound 1 was also obtained by the reaction of (Me₃N)AlH₃ with Me3SiNCNSiMe3 via displacement of NMe₃ followed by reduction of the carbodiimide group. The structural properties of 1 and 2 derived from single crystal X-ray diffraction are elucidated and compared with various coordination analogs.
