Abstract

Anionic two-coordinate complexes of first-row transition-metal(I) centres are rare molecules that are expected to reveal new magnetic properties and reactivity. Recently, we demonstrated that a N(SiMe₃)₂ ^- ligand set, which is unable to prevent dimerisation or extraneous ligand coordination at the +2 oxidation state of iron, was nonetheless able to stabilise anionic two-coordinate Fe^I complexes even in the presence of a Lewis base. We now report analogous Cr^I and Co^I complexes with exclusively this amido ligand and the isolation of a [Mn^I{N(SiMe₃)₂}₂]₂ ^2- dimer that features a Mn-Mn bond. Additionally, by increasing the steric hindrance of the ligand set, the two-coordinate complex [Mn^I{N(Dipp)(SiMe₃)}₂]^- was isolated (Dipp=2,6-iPr₂-C₆H₃). Characterisation of these compounds by using X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements is provided along with ligand-field analysis based on CASSCF/NEVPT2 ab initio calculations.
