Zwitterionic group 14 complexes of the alkali metals of formula [E(SiMe2OCH2CH2OMe)3M], where E = C, Si or Ge and M = Li, Na or K, have been prepared, structurally characterized and their electronic nature was investigated by computational methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
