Abstract

The reactions between two equivalents of PhCH₂K and AeI₂ (Ae = Ca, Sr, Ba) in THF give the alkaline earth metal benzyls [(PhCH₂)₂Ca(THF)₄] (3), [(PhCH₂)₄Sr₂(THF)₃] (4), and [(PhCH₂)₆Ba₃(THF)₄] (5), as orange, crystalline solids in good yield. While 3 crystallizes as a molecular species, compound 4 crystallizes as a ribbon polymer and 5 crystallizes as a 2-dimensional sheet in which the metal ions are coordinated by either benzyl and THF molecules or benzyl ligands alone.
