Abstract

Insertion of a bulky carbodiimide, ArN=C=NAr (Ar = C6H3iPr2-2,6) into the Li–N bond of LiN[CH(CH3)2]2 in THF and subsequent extraction with hexane leads to lithium guanidinate complex, [Li{ArNC(NiPr2)NAr}(THF)] (1). Salt metathesis reaction between equimolar ratios of 1 and CrCl2 in THF and extraction with hexane resulted in a mono(guanidinate) chloride-bridged dimeric chromium complex, [Cr{ArNC(NiPr2)NAr}(µ-Cl)]2 (2). X-ray analysis confirms 1 to be monomeric in which guanidinate ligand shows η1 and η3 coordination through one of the N atoms and an arene moiety. In complex 2 guanidinate ligand adopts η2 coordination mode, thus Cr atom is four-coordinated with distorted square planar geometry. Extraction of chromium with ether instead leads to an “ate” complex, [Cr{ArNC(NiPr2)NAr}(µ-Cl)2Li(THF)2] (3). Hirshfeld surface analysis indicated that H⋯H interactions and H⋯C/C⋯H H-bonding were the two main contributors to the intermolecular interactions in the solid state.
