Abstract:<p>This thesis reports investigations of the interaction of arene-bicyclic guanidine ligands, using the 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine (hppH) guandine (Figure i) as a foundation, with a variety of metal centres. Beginning with 1-benzyl-1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine (Ph(CH2hpp)), attempts were made to coordinate this ligand to group 1 metal N{SiMe3}2- salts, which resulted in a novel NaN{SiMe3}2 crystal structure. Ligands comprised of a phenyl group with multiple h… Show more
