Abstract

The calcium(II) β-diketonate complexes [Ca(dppd)2(EtOH)0.5]n · C7H8 (1) and [Ca(dppd)2(H-dppd)] (2) have been synthesized from the reactions of [Ca(OEt)2(EtOH)4]n with 2 and 3 molar equiv. of H-dppd (H-dppd = 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dione), respectively. The reaction of the tetra-ethanol solvated calcium ethoxide with 2 and 1 molar equiv. of H-dppd and pmdeta [Me2NCH2CH2N(Me)CH2CH 2NMe2], respectively, gave [Ca(dppd)2(pmdeta)] (3). A single crystal X-ray structural study of complex 3 has shown it be monomeric. The reaction of [Sr(OEt)2(EtOH)4]n with 3 molar equiv. of H-tmhd (H-tmhd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dione) also yielded [Sr(tmhd)2(H-tmhd)] (4).
