metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [Li(C18H32N3Si2)]n, is a convenient ligand-transfer reagent for the synthesis of metal complexes of this β-diketiminate ligand. Lithium is coordinated by three N atoms: two are in the delocalized NCCCN fragment and one is from the pyridyl in an adjacent molecule. Owing to the coordination of lithium by the pyridyl N atom, the crystal structure displays a one-dimensional polymeric structure.
organic compounds
The title compound, C14H18N2Si or (PhNH)2SiMe2, has been prepared and its single-crystal structure determined. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each of them contains an N-Si-N fragment which is twisted out of the phenyl plane . Each molecule can be considered as having an approximate twofold axis.
metal-organic compounds
In the title compound, [SnCl4(C3H7N)2], the coordination geometry around the Sn atom is octahedral, with the two N atoms of dimethylamine in the axial sites. The Sn atom is at the center of the square formed by four Cl atoms. The title molecule lies on a crystallographic center of symmetry. The crystal structure has a moderate N—HCl hydrogen bond.
