Deprotonation of group 14 metal amide complexes bearing ditopic carbanionic n-heterocyclic carbene ligands. Constitutional isomerism and dynamic behavior

The reactivity of the lithiated N-heterocyclic carbene [:C[N(2,6- i Pr 2 C 6 H 3 )] 2 (CH)CLi] ∞ with two-coordinate homoleptic group 14 amides E[N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 (E = Sn, Pb) is described. Solutions of these mixtures readily result in the formal loss of 1 equiv of bis(trimethylsilyl)amine, HN(SiMe...
