Yttrium Methanide and Methanediide Bis(silyl)amide Complexes

The yttrium methanediide complex [Y(BIPM)(I)(THF)2] (BIPM = {C(PPh2NSiMe3)2}) was reacted with a series of potassium bis(silyl)amides to produce heteroleptic complexes by salt metathesis protocols. The methanediide complexes [Y(BIPM)(N″)(THF)] (1; N″ = {N(SiMe3)2}) and [Y(BIPM)(N**)(THF)] (2; N** = ... View More
