Non-redox reactivity of V(ii) and Fe(ii) formamidinates towards CO₂ resulting in the formation of novel M(ii) carbamates

Abstract

Chemical fixation of CO2 is a powerful tool for the preparation of novel multinuclear metal complexes and functional materials. Particularly, the insertion of CO2 into a metal-X bond (X =...

Factors controlling the structure of alkylzinc amidinates: on the role ofN-substituents

“…Building on the mentioned above results and our previous experience in studies on the structure and self-assembly of amidinate metal complexes, 11,20,21,34,35 we selected dipf and bza ligands as a model N,N′-diaryl substituted and N,N′-unsubstituted NCN scaffold to gain a more in-depth understanding of factors controlling the structure and stability of alkylzinc amidinates. To this aim, we investigated the reactions of dipf-H and bza-H proligands with ZnR 2 compounds (R = Me, Et, t Bu) and characterized products containing a systematically modified secondary coordination sphere of the Zn center in both the solid state and solution.…”
