Four-membered heterocycles exist in the structures of dimeric di-/-butylarsino zinc complex 32 and in the related gallium compound 33.191,192 In contrast, the di-/-butylarsino beryllium complex BuSAs-BcCp 34 is monomeric.193... 

I herc is also an interesting series of basic beryllium complexes with the carboxylic acids which are covalent compounds of remarkable stability. Basic beryllium acetate, Be40(00C.CH3)g melts at 283°, boils at 330° without decomposition and dissolves in CHCI3 as the monomer it lacks ionic properties. Its structure has a central O atom surrounded tetrahedrally by tour... 

Metal complexes have a variety of stractures. Silver complexes are often linear beryllium complexes are usually tetrahedral iron forms a carbonyl compound that has a trigonal bipyramidal structure cobalt(lll) complexes are octahedral and tantalum forms an eight-coordinated fluoride complex (Figure 3.1). Although a variety of coordination numbers and structures have been observed in metal complexes, the only common coordination numbers are four and six the common structures corresponding to these coordination numbers are tetrahedral and square planar, and octahedral, respectively. In studying metal complexes, it soon becomes clear that the octahedral structure is by far the most common of these configurations. 

The zinc complex formed with V,V -diphenylformamidinate is structurally analogous to the basic zinc acetate structure, as [Zn4(/i4-0)L6], and the basic beryllium acetate structure. It is prepared by hydrolysis of zinc bis(diphenylformamidinate).184 Mixed metal zinc lithium species were assembled from dimethyl zinc, t-butyl lithium, V.iV -diphenylbenzamidine and molecular oxygen. The amidinate compounds formed are dependent on the solvent and conditions. Zn2Li2 and... 

A further point of interest is that in both the dimeric and trimeric species shown, the beryllium atom still has a vacant orbital available which may be used in adduct formation without disruption of the electron-deficient bond. This type of behavior leads to the formation of dimers with four-coordinate beryllium atoms, e.g., structure XX (86). This structure has been determined in the solid state and shows that the phenylethynyl-bridging group is tipped to the side, but to a much smaller extent than observed in the aluminum derivative (112). One cannot be certain whether the distortion in this case is associated with a it - metal interaction or is simply a result of steric crowding, crystal packing, or the formation of the coordination complexes. Certainly some differences must have occurred since both the Be—Be distance and Be—C—Be angle are substantially increased in this compound relative to those observed in the polymer chain. 

An operational description is that one reactant (the more ionic compound with the more electropositive metal) transfers alkyl anions to the other. Thus the four methyl groups in Li2BeMe4 form a distorted tetrahedron around the beryllium, with longer distances to the lithium ions. However, this description is oversimplified. The low-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum of Li3MgMe5 has three different methyl resonances, suggesting structure (14), related to the MeLi tetramer. Ate complexes with zinc and aluminum compounds also form. Electron-deficient bridge-bonded structures, exemplified by the X-ray structure of...
