Abstract
Controlled hydrolysis of strontium amide LSrN(SiMe 3) 2(thf) (L = CH(CMe2,6- i-Pr 2C 6H 3N) 2) ( 1) gave an unprecedented example of a hydrocarbon-soluble strontium hydroxide, [LSr(thf)(mu-OH) 2Sr(thf) 2L] ( 2). In compound 2, the tetrahydrofuran (THF) molecules can easily replaced by benzophenone and triphenylphosphine oxide to yield [LSr(mu-OH)(OCPh 2)] 2 ( 3) and [LSr(mu-OH)(OPPh 3)] 2 ( 4) compounds. Among the two strontium atoms of 2, one is coordinated to a single THF molecule, while the other is coordinated to two THF molecules. Interestingly, strontium hydroxide complex 2 behaves as an acid in its reaction with Zr(NMe 2) 4 and results in a heterobimetallic oxide, [LSr(mu-O)Zr(NMe 2) 3] 2 ( 5). Compound 5 is dimeric in the solid state and contains a Sr 2Zr 2O 2 core.Keywords
