Exploring the Nuclearity and Structural Motifs of Phenoxyimine Alkaline Earth Complexes.

ABSTRACT: The nuclearity and structural motifs of alkaline earth complexes supported by bidentate phenoxyimine ligands has been explored by modulation of the stereoelectronic profile of the ligand, the atomic number of the metal, and the synthetic protocol. Changing the size of the N-imine substituents was found to have no effect on protonolysis reactions between [MgN″₂]₂ or CaN″₂(thf)₂ (N″ = N(SiMe₃)₂) and H ^{t Bu₂,Ar}L (1-OH-2-CH = NAr-4,6- ^t Bu-C₆H₂; Ar = 2,6-ⁱPr-C₆H₃ = Dipp or 2,6-CHPh₂-4-Me-C₆H₂ = Ar*) regardless of reaction stoichiometry, with homoleptic bis(ligand) complex
