Abstract

The terdentate aryldiamine ligand in the aryltantalum(V) alkylidene complex [TaCl~2~{C~6~H~3~(CH~2~NMe~2~)~2~‐2,6}(CHBu^t^)] (1) controls alkylidene reactivity in a range of metal‐mediated Wittig reactions. An X‐ray diffraction study of (1) shows that the hexacoordinate tantalum centre has a very irregular ligand array in which the aryldiamine ligand adopts a new facial N,C,N coordination mode.

The 2:1 cyanocuprate [Ar 2 Cu(CN)Li 2 (THF) 4 ] `(1, Ars[C 6 H 4 CH 2 NMe 2 -2] y ) is obtained as the only product in the reaction of two equivalents of ArLi with one equivalent of CuCN in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at y788C. The X-ray crystal structure reveals an ionic polymeric chain consisting of con
