Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Metathesis of "[Li(PyNSiMe3)(15C5)]" (15C5 = 15-crown-5 ether) with potassium tert-butoxide or rubidium 2-ethylhexoxide yields the two new amide complexes [{K(PyNSiMe3)(mu-15C5)}(2)] (3) and [{Rb(mu-PyNSiMe3)(15C5)}(2)] (4). X-ray crystallography reveals 3 to be a 'slipped' centrosymmetric dimer, in which the crown ethers exhibit a bridging coordination mode via one crown oxygen from each crown to form a (KO)(2) four-membered ring; the amide adopts a terminal chelating mode. In contrast, 4 is a centrosymmetric amido-bridged dimer with a transoid (RbN)(2) core having additional bonding via bridging pyridyl groups; the crown ethers cap both ends of the dimer.
