Al. Odom et Cc. Cummins, A CHROMIUM(VI) NITRIDO-SILYLMETHYL COMPLEX AND A CHROMIUM(V) MU-NITRIDO DIMER - SYNTHETIC AND STRUCTURAL DETAILS, Organometallics, 15(3), 1996, pp. 898-900
Lutidinium iodide reacts with NCr((NPr2)-Pr-i)(3) (1) to give the nitr
ido-iodide NCr(I)((NPr2)-Pr-i)(2) (2), which provides the sigma-alkyl
complex NCr(CH(2)SiMe(2)Ph)((NPr2)-Pr-i)(2) (3) upon treatment with 0.
5 equiv of Mg(CH(2)SiMe(2)Ph)(2). The thermal stability of nitrido-alk
yl 3 is discussed, and its X-ray crystal structure is presented. Produ
ced via sodium amalgam reduction of nitrido-iodide, 2 is the dimeric c
hromium(V) complex [Cr(mu-N)((NPr2)-Pr-i)(2)](2) (4), the X-ray crysta
l structure of which is also described.
