Ga. Dushenko et al., Polydentate coordination of the thallium atom in complexes with chiral amidinylcyclopentadienyl ligands, RUSS CHEM B, 50(5), 2001, pp. 890-894
The chiral thallium amidinium cyclopentadiene-N-ylide complexes [C-5(CO2Me)
(4){ArNC(Ar ' )NAr}]Tl were synthesized and structurally characterized by X
-ray diffraction analysis and NMR spectroscopy. In these complexes, an unus
ual mode of coordination of the thallium atom was found, viz., the thallium
atom is coordinated by both the side-chain nitrogen atom (N-Tl, 2.833(6) A
ngstrom) and the pi system of the cyclopentadienyl ring (Tl-Cp, 2.887(4) An
gstrom; eta (5)-bonding).
