Leading national thinking on politics, government & public policy through Open Access research

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Government & Public Policy, based within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Research here is 1st in Scotland for research intensity and spans a wide range of domains. The Department of Politics demonstrates expertise in understanding parties, elections and public opinion, with additional emphases on political economy, institutions and international relations. This international angle is reflected in the European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) which conducts comparative research on public policy. Meanwhile, the Centre for Energy Policy provides independent expertise on energy, working across multidisciplinary groups to shape policy for a low carbon economy.

Abstract

Addition of lithium hexamethyldisilazide to an equimolar amount of calcium bis(hexamethyldisilazide) in toluene gave 'solvent-free'. [Li{mu-N(SiMc(3))(2)}(2)Ca{N(SiMe3)(2)] (1). An X-ray study reveals a dinuclear arrangement based on a planar LiNCaN four-membered ring: both metals engage in additional H3C...M (where M = Lt. Ca) interactions with the mu-N(SiMe3)(2) substituents resulting in a distorted tetrahedral geometry at lithium and a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry at calcium. This contrasts with the previously reported mixed Li-Mg analogue, [Li{mu-N(SiMe3)(2)}(2)Mg{N(SiMe3)(2)}], where only the lithium centre engages in such intramolecular agostic H3C...Li interactions.
