description

Reactions of silylamides [Ln{N(SiHMe2)2}3(thf)2] with sterically crowded terphenylamine DmpNH2 (Dmp = 2,6-Mes2C6H3 with Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) afforded via a template reaction the formation of a new tridentate ligand, and derived complexes of composition [LnN{SiMe2N(Dmp)}2] (Ln = Ce, Pr) were obtained. Usage of the even more bulky amine Ar*NH2 (Ar* = 2,6-Trip2C6H3 with Trip = 2,4,6-iPr3C6H2) yielded the free protonated ligand NH{SiMe2NH(Ar*)}2.
