one of them was determined [11]. There are also well
known platinum or nickel complexes with vinylsilanes
(i.e. vinyltrimethylsilane [12,13] or divinyldimethylsilane
[7]) used as ligands, however, the application of vinyl
derivatives of silazane as ligands in organometallic
chemistry has been rather rare. Hitherto only two

Compound 1c (0.65 g, 0.66 mmol, 72%) was prepared
in a similar manner to 1a, except that P(C6H11-c)3 was
used in the place of PPh3. Yellow crystals of 1c were
obtained by recrystalisation from benzene at ambient
temperature.
2.1. General procedures
All reagents were dried and purified before use by the
usual procedures. [Ni(cod)2] was prepared as described
in literature [15]. Other chemicals were purchased from
Fluka. The NMR spectra (1H, 13C, 31P, 29Si) were
recorded on a Varian XL 300 spectrometer. In all cases
C6D6 was used as a solvent.

2.3. Crystal structure determination of 1a
Cyclotetrakis [vinyl(methyl)silazane] (2 ml) was added
slowly to a stirred red suspension of [Ni(cod)2] (0.5 g, 1.8
mmol) and PPh3 (0.47 g, 1.8 mmol) in diethyl ether (10
ml) at ambient temperature, yielding a yellow solution.
The reaction mixture was allowed to stir overnight. The
volatiles were removed in vacuo to give a yellow oil,

tical changes either in the peaks positions or in their
