New transition metal imido chemistry with diamido-donor ligands

Journal article

This short review presents an account of the synthesis and chemistry to date of new Groups 4, 5 and 6 imido complexes derived from the diamido-pyridine or diamido-amine ligand precursors MeC(2-C5H4N)(CH2NHSiMe2R) 2 (abbreviated as H2N2Npy for R = Me or H2N2Npy* for R = Bu′) and Me3SiN(CH2CH2NHSiMe3)2 (abbreviated as H2N2Nam). Reaction of the dilithium salts Li2N2Npy, Li2N2Npy* or Li2N2Namwith metal imido synthons of the general type [M(NR)xCly(LB)z] (M = Groups 4-6 transition metals; R = alky...
