Organo-Zinc Phosphaneiminato Complexes with Heterocubane StructureThe organo-zinc heterocubanes [ZnR(NPMe3)]4 with R = CH3 (1) and n-C4H9 (2) were prepared by the reaction of [ZnBr(NPMe3)]4 with MeLi and nBuLi, respectively, in hexane solution. In a similar reaction of nBuLi with [ZnI(NPMe3]4 the phosphaneiminato complex [Zn4I(nBu)4(NPMe3)3] (3) is formed. 1-3 were characterized by IR, NMR and MS spectroscopy, and by crystal-structure determinations. 1 and 2 possess heterocubane structures in which the zinc atoms are linked via μ3-N bridges of the phosphaneiminato groups, and all bond angles in the Zn4N4 core are close to 90°. A distorted heterocubane structure is observed for 3 with one of the NPMe3 moieties replaced by an iodine atom.
