Tr. Belderrain et al., X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF [NI(ETA(2)-C(NBU(T))CH(SIME(3))(2))CL(PME(3))], THE FIRST STRUCTURALLY CHARACTERIZED ETA(2)-ALKANEIMIDOYL COMPLEX OF NICKEL, Polyhedron, 14(2), 1995, pp. 323-326
The alkylation of [NiCl2(PMe(3))(2)] with Mg[CH(SiMe(3))(2)]Cl yielded
the alkyl dimer [Ni{CH(SiMe(3))(2)}(mu-Cl)(PMe(3))](2) (1), which rea
dily inserted CNBu(t) to afford [Ni{eta(2)-C(NBu(t))CH(SiMe(3))(2)}Cl(
PMe(3))] (4); spectroscopic and X-ray studies reveal this complex cont
ains an eta(2)-alkaneimidoyl ligand.
