Alkane elimination reactions afford magnesium and zinc 1,8-bis(triorganosilyl)diamidonaphthalene complexes, where the tuning of the reaction conditions and steric bulk allows manipulation of the coordination environment.

The synthesis and reactivity of two new bis(phosphinimine)carbazole ligands (PippN=PMe2)2DMC (HLA, 3) and (PippN=P(C4H8))2DMC (HLB, 10), where Pipp = para-isopropylphenyl and DMC = 3,6-dimethylcarbazole, are reported. Dialkyl lutetium complexes of 3 and 10 were prepared in the presence of DMAP and THF by reaction of the proteo ligands with the new trialkyl reagent, Lu(CH2SiMe3)3(DMAP)2 (4) as well as Lu(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2. For both ligands 3 and 10, the resulting lutetium complexes were prone to intramolecular cyclometalative alkane elimination reactions whereby the location of cyclometalation was influenced by the identity of the ancillary ligand coordinated to the metal. For ligand 3, cyclometalation of two PMe2 groups generated the complex (LA-κ3N,κ2C)Lu(DMAP)2 (5), whereas ligand 10 resulted in the single ortho-metalation of a para-isopropylphenyl ring to afford (LB-κ3N,κC)Lu(CH2SiMe3) (12). When complexed with scandium, ligand 10 behaved differently; double cyclometalation of two phospholane moieties resulted in the species (LB-κ3N,κ2C)Sc (15). The nature of the cyclometalation reactivity of ligands 3 and 10 is supported by X-ray crystallography and kinetic analysis, respectively.

A safer route than that previously published for the synthesis of [BeI2(OEt2)2] has been developed. Reactions of beryllium dihalide complexes [BeX2(OEt2)2] (X=Br or I) with either LiMe or LiBun lead to mixtures of products, which have been shown to act as sources of ‘BeR2’ (R=Me or Bun) in previous synthetic studies. Here, a titration method has been developed to determine the quantity of metal alkyl residues in these ‘BeR2’ mixtures that are available for subsequent alkane elimination reactions. Treating ‘BeMe2’ mixtures with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda) gave two lithium tetramethylberyllate compounds, [{(tmeda)Li}2(μ-BeMe4)] and [{[(tmeda)Li](BeMe4)(μ-Li)}∞], which were crystallographically characterised. Treatment of insitu-generated ‘BeR2’ solutions with several β-diketimines (HC{C(Me)=NR}{=C(Me)N(H)R}, NacnacH, R=aryl or alkyl) yielded a series of β-diketiminato beryllium alkyl complexes, [(Nacnac)BeR], including the first chiral example of such a compound. Crystallographic studies of these reveal them to be monomeric, with planar three-coordinate beryllium centres.
