Title: Synthesis and structural characterisation of aluminium imino-amide and pyridyl-amide complexes: bulky monoanionic N,N chelate ligands via methyl group transfer1Dedicated to Professor Ken Wade on the occasion of his 65th birthday in recognition of his outstanding contributions to inorganic chemistry.1
Abstract: Treatment of the imines [ArNCH-CHNAr] and [ArNCH-2-py] (Ar=2,6-Pr2iC6H3) with AlMe3 in toluene affords the highly crystalline complexes [AlMe2{ArN-CH2-C(Me)NAr}] (1) and [AlMe2{ArN-CH(Me)-2-py}] (2); the molecular structures of 1 and 2 show that the aluminiums are bonded to imino-amide and pyridyl-amide ligands respectively arising from methyl group transfer from the aluminium centre to the backbone carbon of the imine ligand.
