Reductive cleavage of N,N′-di-tert-butylcarbodiimide generates tert-butylcyanamide ligands, (Me3CNCN)−, that bind potassium both end-on and side-on in the same single crystal

Reductive cleavage of N,N′-di-tert-butylcarbodiimide generates tert-butylcyanamide ligands, (Me3CNCN)−, that bind potassium both end-on and side-on in the same single crystal

N,N′-Di-tert-butylcarbodiimide, Me3CN=C=NCMe3, undergoes reductive cleavage in the presence of the GdII complex, [K(18-crown-6)2][GdII(NR2)3] (R = SiMe3), to form a new type of ligand, the tert-butylcyanamide anion, (Me3CNCN)−. This new ligand can bind metals with one or two donor atoms as demonstra...
