Intermolecular β‑Hydrogen Abstraction in Ytterbium, Calcium, and Potassium Tris(dimethylsilyl)methyl Compounds

A series of organometallic compounds containing the tris­(dimethylsilyl)­methyl ligand are described. The potassium carbanions KC­(SiHMe2)3 and {KC­(SiHMe2)3TMEDA}2 are synthesized by deprotonation of the hydrocarbon HC­(SiHMe2)3 with potassium benzyl. {KC­(SiHMe2)3TMEDA}2 crystallizes as a dimer wi...
