Comment top

In recent years, there has been much interest in N-silylated benzamidinates (Edelmann, 1994). New types of amidinate ligands with pendant amine or pyridine functionalities have recently been reported (Brandsma et al., 1998; Doyle et al., 2000; Kincaid et al., 1999). We have been interested in developing the chemistry of pendant-arm-functionalized amidinates as supporting ligands for group 4 imido chemistry (Boyd et al., 2002). As part of these studies, we were interested in using an N-propyl-substituted benzamidinate ligand, namely Me3SiNC(Ph)NCH2CH2CH3, for comparison with the pendant alkylamine-substituted amidinates Me3SiNC(Ph)NCH2CH2NMe2 and Me3SiNC(Ph)NCH2CH2CH2NMe2 (Brandsma et al., 1998; Doyle et al., 2000). We describe here the structure of the diethyl ether adduct of the lithium salt of this ligand, (I).

Molecules of (I) adopt a dinuclear structure in the solid state, possessing crystallographically imposed Ci molecular symmetry. Each Li atom, and each propyl-substituted benzamidinate N atom, is four-coordinated, with Li deviating the most from an ideal tetrahedral geometry due to the restricted bite angle of the amidinate group. The central motif of the structure is a four-membered ring of alternating Li and N atoms, which is planar by symmetry. To either end of this ring is fused another, slightly-puckered, four-membered ring. This puckering sees atoms C1 and Li lying out of the Li1/N1/C1/N2 least-squares plane of the ring by ca 0.19 and 0.07 Å, respectively. This creates a close Li1···C1 contact of 2.334 (3) Å which is possibly electrostatic in nature. This distance is at the lower end of Li···CN2 distances observed for other lithiated amidinates, which are in the range ca 2.30–2.42 Å (Fletcher et al., 1996). The Li—N distances and N—Li—N angles in (I) span the typical ranges reported for lithiated amides (Fletcher et al., 1996; Allen & Kennard, 1993).

The structural motif in (I) is closely related to that of the Li salt of the pendant N-propylamine-substituted ligand, namely Li2{Me3SiNC(Ph)NCH2CH2CH2NMe2}2, synthesized by Lappert and co-workers (Doyle et al., 2000). In this case, there is no Et2O coordinated to Li and the remaining site is occupied by the chelating pendant amine N-donor.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared according to previously described procedures (Boyd et al., 2002). Crystallization of the crude product from a mixture of hexane and Et2O afforded the title compound as air-sensitive colourless blocks.
