Abstract
Reaction of (Me2N)(2)Sb(CH2)(3)Sb(NMe2)(2) with 4 equivalents of 2-NHLiPy ( Py = pyridyl) generates the novel distibine-centred dianion complex 1,3-[(R NLi)Sb](2)(mu-NR)(CH2)(3).(RNHLi). 3THF (1), incorporating the co-complexat ion of primary lithium amide; the X-ray crystal structure of 1 reveals a bi metallic imido-/amido-bridged cage structure of interlocking 6-membered rin gs, crystallising as a single enantiomer.
