Alkali Metal Triphenyl- and Trihydridosilanides Stabilized by a Macrocyclic Polyamine Ligand.

ABSTRACT: Potassium silanide [KSiH₃ ]_∞ contains 4.2 wt % of hydrogen and has been intensely studied as hydrogen storage material. The macrocyclic ligand Me₄ TACD (1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraaminocyclododecane, L) stabilizes the full range of triphenylsilyl complexes [(L)MSiPh₃ ]_n (M=Li-Cs), which react with H₂ or PhSiH₃ to form molecular [(L)MSiH₃ ]_n that can be isolated in soluble form and fully characterized.
