A supramolecular motif in the solid-state structure of a difunctional thallium(i) amide defined by weak Tl···Tl attractions

Abstract
The crystal structure of the difunctional thallium(I) amide CH 2 [CH 2 N(Tl)SiMe 3 ] 2 1 reveals a pattern of aggregation based on weak attractive metal–metal interactions, a situation which appears to be influenced by the degree of exposure of the thallium centres; this is evidenced by the solid-state structure of the more shielded analogue CH 2 [CH 2 N(Tl)SiBu t Me 2 ] 2 2 which features no significant Tl···Tl contacts.
