title: Bis[(2-pyridylmeth-yl)(triisopropyl-silyl)amido]zinc(II)-toluene-tetra-hydro-furan (4/2/1).
abstract: The transamination reaction of (2-pyridylmeth-yl)(triiso-propyl-silyl)amine with bis-{bis-(trimethyl-silyl)amido}zinc(II) yields the colorless title solvate, [Zn(C(15)H(27)N(2)Si)(2)]·0.5C(7)H(8)·0.25C(4)H(8)O. The title compound was crystallized from toluene and tetra-hydro-furan. There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. In each mol-ecule, the Zn atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated by four N atoms. The two mol-ecules differ in the orientation of the isopropyl groups. The mol-ecules show large N-Zn-N angles [143.0 (2) and 145.7 (2)° between the amide groups].
