Bis[N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinato]diethylhafnium(IV)

R. Fischer, D. Walther and W. Imhof

Abstract: In the title compound, [Hf(C₂H₅)₂(C₁₃H₂₃N₂Si₂)₂], the Hf atom is coordinated by two ethyl groups and two bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate (siam) ligands binding in a bidentate coordination mode via their N-donor atoms. The coordination around hafnium is best described as slightly distorted tetrahedral if the siam ligands are represented by their centroids.
