Cover Story: The use of β-diketiminate (Nacnac) ligands in the stabilization of highly reactive complexes across the periodic table has been revolutionary. These are typically formed by the reaction of the Nacnac group 1 metal salts with the desired metal halide, followed by the reduction and/or functionalization of the newly synthesized complex. Recently, more sterically demanding Nacnac ligands have entered the field, allowing the isolation of complexes previously thought inaccessible. In this paper, the synthesis of four highly sterically encumbering β-diketiminato group 1 metal complexes, based on two ligands containing the 2,4,6-tricyclohexylphenyl moiety, are described. These compounds can be used to transfer the ligand fragment to other metal halides, allowing the easy synthesis of new highly sterically protected metal complexes. View this paper.

Sterically bulky β-diketiminate (or Nacnac) ligand systems have recently shown the ability to kinetically stabilize highly reactive low-oxidation state main group complexes. Metal halide precursors to such systems can be formed via salt metathesis re...

The reaction in the system CuII/sacNa(H)/NCNR2 (sacNa(H) = sodium saccharinate (saccharin); R = Me, Et) results in the formation of the complexes [Cu(sac)2(NCNR2)(H2O)2] (R = Me 1, Et 2) instead of the expected products derived from the saccharin–cya...
