Abstract: • Monoanionic β-triketiminate ligands feature bidentate coordination mode and are coordinated to a metal center only through two nitrogen atoms. • The ternary systems based on these complexes exhibit catalytic activity in isoprene polymerization. • The ternary systems provide very high content of cis -1,4 units (98.9%). Deprotonation of β-triketimines (2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = CMe) 3 CH (1), (2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = CMe) 2 CH(2-MeOC 6 H 4 N = C t Bu) (2), (2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = CMe) 2 CH(2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = C t Bu) (3) by equimolar amount of n -BuLi afforded lithium triketiminate complexes [(2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = CMe) 3 C]Li(THF) (4), [(2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = CMe) 2 C(2-MeOC 6 H 4 N = C t Bu)]Li(THF) 2 (5), [(2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = CMe) 2 C(2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = C t Bu)]Li(THF) 2 (6) in 70–80% yields. The salt metathesis reactions of LnCl 3 (Ln = Y, Nd) with 6 lead to the formation of neutral triketiminate dichloro complexes [(2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = CMe) 2 C(2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = C t Bu)]LnCl 2 (THF) 2 (Ln = Y (7), Nd (8)) in 78 and 70% yields, while the analogous reaction of YCl 3 with 5 resulted in triketiminate yttrium chloro ate complex [(2,6-Me 2 C 6 H 3 N = CMe) 2 C(2-MeOC 6 H 4 N = C t Bu)]Y(THF)Cl(µ2-Cl) 2 Li(THF) 2 (9).
