Abstract

Abstract : New alkali metal (M = Li, Na, K) enediamide complexes derived from 1, 4‐diaza‐1, 3‐dienes (= DADs) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The complexes were prepared by direct metalation of either 1, 4‐bis(2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐1, 4‐diaza‐1, 3‐butadiene (1, = H2 DAD Dipp ) or 1, 4‐bis(2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐2, 3‐dimethyl‐1, 4‐diaza‐1, 3‐butadiene (2, = Me2 DAD Dipp ) with an excess of the respective alkali metals in donor solvents such as THF or DME. All new complexes were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and X‐ray crystallography. Abstract : A series of new alkali metal (M = Li, Na, K) enediamide complexes derived from bulky 1, 4‐diaza‐1, 3‐dienes have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Trends in the structural chemistry of these useful compounds are discussed.
