New dialkylamido complexes of transition metals in Groups 4 and 5 stabilised by terdentate ligands

Abstract
Application of the terdentate chelating diaminoamido ligand N(CH2CH2NEt2)2(L) has enabled the straightforward preparation and isolation of new ternary dialkylamido complexes [MX2L](M = V or Ti; X = Cl, Me, or Ph), [NbCl2L2], and [ZrCl3L]. These compounds are resistant to the types of rearrangements that have frustrated previous attempts to find general routes to dialkylamido complexes containing other ligands available for substitutions and other manipulations. This approach now provides access to a broad class of compounds of interest in the study of organometallic amides.
