TEMPO: a novel chameleonic ligand for s-block metal amide chemistryElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: experimental, synthesis and characterisation data. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/cc/b1/b104937m/
Abstract
The first structurally characterised examples of the nitroxide TEMPO acting as a ligand towards Li, Na or Mg are described, through a series of hexamethyldisilazide complexes which reveals a remarkable breadth of variety in structure and in the mode of ligation.
