Homoleptic intramolecularly stabilized organozinc, ‐cadmium, and ‐mercury compounds MR2, with R bearing an amino function, have been synthesized from the corresponding metal dichlorides MCl2 and the lithium salts LiC6H4CH2NEt2‐2 (1), LiC6H3(CH2NMe2)2‐2,6 (2), LiC6H3(CH2NEt2)2‐2,6 (3), (LiCH2CH2CH2)2NMe (4), and LiCH2CH2CH2NC5H10 (5). The crystal structures of Hg(C6H4CH2NEt2‐2)2 (1c), [M(CH2CH2CH2)2NMe]2 [M = Zn (4a), Hg (4c)], and of M(CH2CH2CH2NC5H10)2 [M = Zn (5a), Cd (5b)] have been determined by X‐ray diffraction. 4a and 4c form dimers with an unusual coordination number (three) of the central metal.
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.
