An unusual carbon-carbon bond cleavage in bulky metal alkoxides: syntheses and x-ray crystal structures of three-coordinate manganese(II) and chromium(II) complexes containing the di-tert-butylmethoxide ligand

Etude des structures cristallines des composes [{Cr(μ-OCH-t-Bu 2 )(OC-t-Bu 3 )} 2 ] et [Mn 3 (OCH-t-Bu 2 ) 6 ]. Le premier cristallise dans le systeme triclinique, groupe P1 et le second dans le systeme monoclinique, groupe P2 1 /c. Coordination plane triangulaire autour des atomes Cr

Syntheses and X-ray crystal structures of lithium and chromium(II) complexes of the tri-t-butylmethoxide ligand

The syntheses and X-ray crystal structures of Li and CrII complexes of the tri-t-butylmethoxide ligand are described, these are [{Li(OCBut3)(thf)}2] and [Cr(OCBut3)2·LiCl(thf)2](thf = tetrahydrofuran); the latter compounds has a rare distorted T-shaped geometry at chromium and when dissolved in n-hexane gives LiCl and a complex that analyses as [Cr(OCBut3)2(thf)2].
