Reactions of LiAlH 4 and LiGaH 4 with Me 3 SiNCNSiMe 3 yield, respectively, the monomeric hexacoordinate Al(Me 3 SiNCHNSiMe 3 ) 3 (1) and Ga(Me 3 SiNCHNSiMe 3 ) 3 , (2) metal amidinate compounds. A unique feature of the work is the creation of the previously unknown bidentate [Me 3 SiNCHNSiMe 3 ] anion ligand which shows the propensity to fully encapsulate the Al and Ga metal centers despite potential steric crowding associated with the six‐fold coordination. Compound 1 was also obtained by the reaction of (Me 3 N)AlH 3 with Me 3 SiNCNSiMe 3 via displacement of NMe 3 followed by reduction of the carbodiimide group. The structural properties of 1 and 2 derived from single crystal X‐ray diffraction are elucidated and compared with various coordination analogs. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
