The use of the terphenyl substituent -C6H3-2,6-Mes2 (abbreviated Ar) has permitted the synthesis of several new low-coordinate beryllium compounds. Reaction of 1 equiv of LiAr with BeCl2(OEt2)2 or BeBr2(OEt2)2 (1) gives the monomeric complexes ArBeX(OEt2) (X = Cl (2); Br (3) featuring three-coordinate berylliums. Treatment of 2 with 1 equiv of LiSMes* (Mes* = -C6H2-2,4,6-t-Bu3) affords the three-coordinate thiolate derivative ArBeSMes*(OEt2) (4). The reaction of 2 with LiNHPh, LiNHSiPh3, or LiN(SiMe3)2 affords the unstable dimer (ArBeNHPh)2 (5) or the monomers ArBeNHSiPh3(OEt2) (6) and ArBeN(SiMe3)2 (7). The last is the first example of a two-coordinate beryllium center in the solid state. The addition of 1 equiv of 2 to NaMo(η5-C5H5)(CO)3 gives the isocarbonyl complex Ar(THF)2Be(OC)3Mo(η5-C5H 5) (8), which features four-coordinate beryllium bound to Ar, two THF ligands, and an oxygen from one of the molybdenum-bound carbonyls. Reaction of 2 with a 1:1 mixture of LiN(SiMe3)2 and PhCN affords the six-membered-ring compound PhC(NSiMe3)2(BeCl)2N(SiMe3) 2 (9) and the four-coordinate monomer Be{(NSiMe3)2CPh}2 (10). Compounds 1-10 were characterized by X-ray crystallography, and 1 and 4 and 6-10 were also characterized by 1H, 9Be, and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
