Abstract

In seeking to investigate whether structures of the type observed for {[Me3Al(TMP)]Li}∞ (TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide) can be oligomerised by the use of polyfunctional N-centred ligands, we report lithium aluminates incorporating RN(cyrillical capital letter sha)C(H)(cyrillical capital letter sha)NR residues. For PhN(cyrillic capital letter sha)C(Ph)(cyrillical capital letter sha)NPh = Am cluster cation-containing (Li4Am3)+·[Li[(μ-Me)2Al(Me )But]2]- is afforded. However, the empolyment of PhN(H)(2-pyr) (pyr = pyridyl) instead affords both {Li8(H)[N(2-pyr)Ph]6}+·[Li(Me2AlBut2)2]- and Li7(H)[N(2-pyr)Ph]6: the first molecular Main Group clusters to incorporate interstitial hydride. Results indicate that β-elimination from ButLi represents the source of H- in these reactions.
