The synthesis and X-ray structure characterisation of the volatile complexes [Sr(thd)2{Me(OCH2CH2)3OMe}] and [Sr2(thd)4{Me(OCH2CH2)2OMe}2(µ-H2O)](Hthd = 1,1,1,6,6,6-hexamethylheptane-2,4-dione)

Abstract
The reaction of [Sr3(thd)6(Hthd)] with one equivalent of triglyme [Me(OCH2CH2)3OMe] has yielded the monomeric species, [Sr(thd)2(triglyme)]1; while with a 2 : 1 mixture of diglyme [Me(OCH2CH2)2OMe] and H2O the dimeric complex, [Sr2(thd)4(diglyme)2(µ-H2O)]2 is obtained; the related [Sr(tfa)2] reacts with one equivalent of hexamethyltriethylenetetramine to yield [Sr(tfa)2(hmteta)]3; complexes 1 and 2 are the first structurally characterised discrete molecular strontium β-diketonates [hmteta = Me2NCH2CH2CH2N(Me)CH2CH2N(Me)CH2CH2NMe2].
