Cadmium Compounds with an [N₃C] Atrane Motif: Evidence for the Generation of a Cadmium Hydride Species.

ABSTRACT: Tris(2-pyridylthio)methane ([Tptm]H) has been employed to synthesize a series of cadmium carbatrane compounds that feature an [N₃C] coordination environment. Specifically, [Tptm]H reacts with Cd[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ to afford [Tptm]CdN(SiMe₃)₂, which thereby provides access to other derivatives. For example, [Tptm]CdN(SiMe₃)₂ reacts with (i) CO₂ to form {[Tptm]Cd(μ-NCO)}₂ and (ii) Me₃SiOH and Ph₃SiOH to form {[κ³-Tptm]Cd(μ-OSiMe₃)}₂ and [Tptm]CdOSiPh₃, respectively. The siloxide compound {[κ³-Tptm]Cd(μ-OSiMe₃)}₂ reacts with Me₃SiX (X = Cl, Br, O₂CMe) to give [Tptm]CdX, wh
