Synthesis and Reactivity of Side-Arm Phosphine Functionalized Amidinatosilylene- and Amidinatogermylene-Supported Nickel(0) Complexes

Reactions of [PhC(NtBu)2]ECl (E = Si, Ge) with Li[(3,5-Me2-C6H3)NPiPr2] afforded the mixed donor ligands [PhC(NtBu)2]E[(3,5-Me2-C6H3)NPiPr2] (1, E = Si; 2, E = Ge) in high yields. Further reaction ...
