Abstract
The reaction of [Li(THF)4][(Mn{C(SiMe3)3})3(μ-Cl)4(THF)] (1) with K(allylTMS2) (allylTMS2 = 1,3-C3H3(SiMe3)2) afforded [(η3-allylTMS2)Mn{C(SiMe3)3}{ClLi(THF)3}] (2). Attempted sublimation of 2 yielded [(η3-allylTMS2)Mn{C(SiMe3)3}(THF)] (3), indicating that 2 extrudes LiCl at elevated temperatures. Additionally, LiCl in 2 was displaced by reaction with PMe3, quinuclidine, and dmap (dmap = 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine), providing [(η3-allylTMS2)Mn{C(SiMe3)3}(L)] (L = PMe3 (4), quinuclidine (5), dmap (6)). Treatment of PMe3 complex 4 with BPh3 yielded bright red [(allylTMS2)Mn{C(SiMe3)3}] (7) accompanied by a precipitate of Ph3B(PMe3). Mixed alkyl/π-allyl manganese(II) complexes 2–7 are pyrophoric red solids with a high-spin d5 configuration, and all were crystallographically characterized. In the solid-state structures, the allyl ligands in 2–6 adopt a syn,syn configuration, whereas in base-free 7, the allyl ligand has a syn,anti configuration. Complexes 4, 5, and 7 sublimed cleanly (5 mTorr) at 70, 90, and 50...
