title: 1,2-Bis(imino)acenaphthene complexes of molybdenum and nickel.
abstract: Molybdenum hexacarbonyl reacts with 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene (, dpp-BIAN) and 1,2-bis[(trimethylsilyl)imino]acenaphthene (, tms-BIAN) in toluene to produce (dpp-BIAN)Mo(CO)(4) () and (tms-BIAN)Mo(CO)(4) (), respectively. The reaction of [CpNi(CO)](2) with yields (dpp-BIAN)NiCp (). Metathesis between Li(2)(tms-BIAN) and NiCl(2)(dppe) affords the Ni(0) complex (tms-BIAN)Ni(dppe) (). The diamagnetic compounds , and have been characterized by (1)H, (29)Si and (31)P NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The ESR spectrum of the paramagnetic compound indicates the presence of Ni(i) coordinated by Cp and a neutral dpp-BIAN ligand. The molecular structures of have been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis.
