title: Simple routes to bulky silyl-substituted acetylide ligands and examples of V(III), Fe(II), and Mn(II) complexes.
abstract: Synthesis of substituted phenylacetylide ligands 2,6-bis(trimethylsilyl)phenylacetylene (H1) and 2-(triphenylsilyl)phenylacteylene (H2) is reported. Ligand 1 supports tetrahedral complexes of V(III), Fe(II), and Mn(II) (3-5). Complexes 3-5 are high-spin and redox active.
