Syntheses and Structures of Solvent-Free bis (Trimethylsilyl)methyl Complexes of the Heavy Alkaline-Earth Metals

Abstract Ether-free alkylmetal reagents are important precursors in organometallic chemistry. With few exceptions, there are hardly any heavier, ether-free group 2 alkylmetal complexes. Herein we describe facile synthetic methods for the synthesis of solvent-free Ae[CH(SiMe3)2]2...
