Synthesis, solid-state structures and reduction reactions of heteroleptic Ge(II) and Sn(II) β-ketoiminate complexes
A series of new heteroleptic divalent germaniun and tin complexes of the general type L1,4GeN(SiMe3)2 (1, 2) and L1−4SnN(SiMe3)2 (3–6) were synthesized by reaction of β-ketimines L1−4H with Ge[N(SiMe3)2]2 and Sn[N(SiMe3)2]2, respectively. The reaction of 3 with the strong Mg(I) reductant L5Mg yielded the heteroleptic complex L1MgL57 after ligand transfer from tin to magnesium, whereas analogous reactions of L4GeN(SiMe3)22 and L4SnN(SiMe3)26 with L5Mg occurred with formation of insoluble precipitates, transfer of the amido substituent from the group 14 metal to magnesium and subsequent formation of the heteroleptic magnesium complex L5MgN(SiMe3)2 (8). 1–8 were characterized by heteronuclear NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) and IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (L4SnN(SiMe3)26, L1MgL57).
Dedicated to Professor Dietrich Gudat on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
