Abstract

Metalation of 1 -aminonaphthalene with AlMe₂ produces the planar Al₂N₂ ring dimer [Me₂Al(N(H)-naphthyl)]₂ (1), in which there is a trans orientation of the N-H protons. Similar metalation of the same primary amine with ZnEt₂produces the chair-shaped Zn₃N₃ ring trimer [EtZn(N(H)naphthyl)·THF]₃ (2), in which the ring N-H protons are all cis. Complex 2 is the first trimeric amido Zn complex to be structurally characterized.
