Description
Summary:The new ligand 2,4- N,N′- bis(napthylamino)-pent-2-ene (L napth ) ( 1 ) has been synthesized and crystallizes in space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 with crystal cell parameters a   =  8.196(3) Å, b  = 9.119(3) Å, c  = 25.746(10) Å, V  = 1924.3(12) Å 3 and Z  = 4. The complexes bis[2,4-pentane- N,N′ -bis(napthyl)ketiminato] chromium(II) ( 2 ), bis[2,4-pentane- N,N′ -bis(isopropylphenyl)ketiminato] chromium(II) ( 3 ), and bis[2,4-pentane- N,N′ -bis(tertbutylphenyl)ketiminato] chromium(II) ( 4 ) were synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 2 , the first complex reported with a bis(napthyl) β-diketiminate ligand, crystallizes in space group P  − 1 with crystal cell parameters a  = 12.0824(15) Å, b  = 12.2462(16) Å, c  = 14.8975(19) Å, α = 87.035(2)°, β = 80.615(2)°, γ = 62.756(2)°, V  = 1932.9(4) Å 3 and Z  = 2. Complex 3 crystallizes in space group P 2 1 / n with crystal cell parameters a  = 13.088(3) Å, b  = 22.222(5) Å, c  = 14.206(3) Å, β = 102.310(4)°, V  = 4036.6(17) Å 3 and Z  = 4. Complex 4 crystallizes in space group P 2 1 / n with crystal cell parameters a  = 20.831(6) Å, b  = 11.575(4) Å, c  = 21.373(7) Å, β = 107.241(5)°, V  = 4922(3) Å 3 and Z  = 4. The degree of twist between the ligand planes is dependent on the steric bulk of the ligand. Graphical Abstract Three bis(β-diketiminate) chromium(II) complexes have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The degree of twist between the ligands was observed to be dependent on the steric bulk of the ligand.
