The synthesis and characterization of complexes with a tridentate amido-diamine ligand N(CH2CH2NMe2)(2), [ClZnN(CH2CH2NMe2)(2)](2) (1), [EtZnN(CH(2)CH(2)NMel)(2)](2) (2), JZn[N(CH(2)CH2NMe(2))(2)](2)}(2) (3) and [(Bu2NZnN)-Bu-t(CH2CH2NMe2)(2)](2) (4), are described. Compounds 1 (57% yield) and 2 (49% yield) were obtained from the reactions of ZnCl2 with 1 equiv. of LiN(CH2CH2NMe2)(2) and ZnEt2 with excess HN(CH2CH2NMe2)(2), respectively. Compounds 3 (52% yield) and 4 (75% yield) were isolated from the reactions of [Zn((NBu2)-Bu-i)(2)](2) With HN(CH2CH2NMe2)(2) in 1:4 and 1:2 molar ratios, respectively. Mass spectral data and NMR analyses suggested that all four compounds were dimeric. The solid-state structures of compounds 2 and 3 were determined via X-ray crystallography. Both compounds were centrosymmetric containing a four-membered Zn2N2 ring with bridging amido ligands. In both structures, one NMe2 group in each bridging ligand bonded to a Zn center forming a five-membered ring. The ethyl groups in 2 and the second -N(CH2CH2NMe2)(2) ligand in 3 occupied the terminal positions. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
