Description
Summary:A nitrogen-based analogue of the Schrock and Clark "yl-ene-yne" complex, W(CBu t )(CHBu t )(CH 2 Bu t )(dmpe), has been prepared. The new complex is the nitrido, imido, amido anion [NCr(NPh)(NPr i 2 ) 2 ] − , which was structurally characterized with the [K(crypt-2.2.2)] + counterion. The "Cr-N 1-2-3" complex was prepared from NCr(NHPh)(NPr i 2 ) 2 , which exists as this nitrido-amido tautomer, rather than the bis(imido) Cr(NH)(NPh)(NPr i 2 ) 2 . By selection of electrophile, the nitrido-imido salt K[NCr(NPh)(NPr i 2 ) 2 ] can undergo reaction at either the imido or the nitrido to form unusual examples of nitrido or bis(imido) complexes. A complex with single, double and triple bonds between nitrogen and the same metal center has been synthesized, [NCr(NPh)(NPr i 2 ) 2 ] − . The complex shows differential activity, with some electrophiles attacking the imido and others the nitrido.
