The coordination chemistry of the 2,3-dimethylindolide anion (DMI), (Me2C8H4N)(-), with potassium, yttrium, and samarium ions is described. In the potassium salt [K(DMI)(THF)](n), 1, prepared from Me2C8H4NH and KH in THF, the dimethylindole anion binds and bridges potassium ions in three different binding modes, namely eta(1), eta(3), and eta(5), to form a two-dimensional extended structure. In the dimethoxyethane (DME) adduct [K(DMI)(DME)(2)](2), 2, prepared by crystallizing a sample of 1 from DME, DMI exists as a mu-eta(1):eta(1) ligand. Compound 1 reacts with Sml(2)(THF)(4) in THF to form the distorted octahedral complex trans-(DMI)(2)Sm(THF)(4), 3, in which the dimethyindolide anions are bound in the ill mode to samarium. Reaction of 2,3-dimethylindole with Y(CH2SiMe3)(3)(THF)(2) afforded the amide complex (DMI)(3)Y(THF)(2), 4, in which the dimethylindolide anions are also bound in the eta(1) mode to yttrium. Compound 1 also reacts with (C5Me5)(2)LnCl(2)K(THF)(2) (Ln = Sm, Y) to form unsolvated amide complexes (C5Me5)(2)Ln(DMI) (Ln = Sm, 5; Y, 6), in which DMI attaches primarily through nitrogen, although the edge of the arene ring is oriented toward the metals at long distances.
