A series of new alkynylamidinate complexes of selected first and second row transition metals has been synthesized and fully characterized. Treatment of MCl 2 precursors (M=Mn, Fe, Co) with 2 equiv. of the lithium alkynylamidinates Li[ c ‐C 3 H 5 −C≡C−C(NR′) 2 ] ⋅ THF (R′= i Pr (2), Cy (cyclohexyl) (…
In this contribution, the first amidinate and amidine derivatives of p -carborane are described. Double lithiation of p -carborane ( 1 ) with n -butyllithium followed by treatment with 1,3-diorganocarbodiimides, R–N=C=N–R (R = i Pr, Cy (= cyclohexyl)), in DME or THF afforded the new p -carboranylamidinate…
