Bx. Qian et al., Synthesis and structure of Li[(C5H4)CH2CH2(TACN-Pr-i(2))] . A lithium complex supported by a Cp/TACN-Pr-i(2) ligand, ORGANOMETAL, 19(14), 2000, pp. 2805-2808
The new ligand (C5H5)CH2CH2(TACN-Pr-i(2)) (TACN-Pr-i(2) = 4,7-diisopropyl-1
,4,7-triaza-1-cyclononyl) has been prepared and structurally characterized
as its lithium complex, Li[(C5H4)CH2CH2(TACN-Pr-i(2))]. The method of prepa
ration employed nucleophilic addition of the lithium amide complex [Li(TACN
-Pr-i(2))](2) to spiro-[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene. The crystal structure of [Li(T
ACN-Pr-i(2))](2) is also presented.
