Syntheses, reactivity and DFT studies of group 2 and group 12 metal complexes of tris(pyrazolyl)methanides featuring "free" pyramidal carbanions.
Reactions of HC(Me2pz)3 with Grignard reagents, dialkyl magnesium compounds and dimethylzinc are reported, together with a DFT study on some of the aspects of this chemistry. Reactions of HC(Me2pz)3 with MeMgX (X=Cl or Br) gave the half-sandwich zwitterionic compounds [Mg((Me)Tpmd)X] (X=Cl (2) or Br...
