Abstract

The synthesis of modified neutral bis-NHI (NHI is N-heterocyclic imine) ligands and their application for the stabilization of tetryliumylidenes are reported. The ligands’ scaffolding consists of either saturated or methylated imidazoline backbones, and the bridge alternated from flexible ethylene to more rigid o-phenylene. Transmetalation reactivity of the cationic SnII compounds was tested towards LiAlH4 and IDipp→SiCl2 [IDipp is 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropyl- phenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene] affording the respective aluminium and silicon complexes.
