Abstract
Isolation of [{Li(R′H)(R)}2] (1) (R- = NC5H4-2-CH(SiMe3), R′H = NC5H4-2-RH(SiMe3)2), where R′H acts as an N-donor and R- as an η3-aza-allyl unit to one metal centre and an N-bridge to the other (X-ray structure determination), and formation of [{Li(R)(tmeda)}2] and R′H on treatment of (1) with tmeda (= N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) establishes the relative solution thermodynamic acidities RH > R′H, rationalized by negative hyperconjugation in RH overriding extra polarization from two silicon centres in R′H.
