Abstract
Treatment of pyrophoric strontium powder in tetrahydrofuran with ArOH (Ar = C6H2But 3-2,4,6) or HNR′2 at ambient temperature affords crystalline [Sr(OAr)2(THF)4] or [Sr(NR′2)2(THF)2]3, respectively, and 3 with 1,4-dioxane yields crystalline [{trans-Sr(NR′2)2(µ-1,4-dioxane)}∞]4; co-condensation of calcium vapour and RBr in THF at 77 K affords [CaR2(THF)3]5, which with 1,4-dioxane gives [CaR2(1,4-dioxane)2]6; X-ray structures reveal the alkaline earth metal environment to be square-planar for 4[Sr-N 2.449(7), Sr-O 2.533(9)Å] but tetrahedral for 6[Ca-C 2.483(5), Ca-O 2.373(4)Å] with dioxane as a bridging bidentate 4 or monodentate 6 ligand.Keywords
