A new dipyrromethene ligand with 9-anthracenyl substituents for steric shielding of the metal has been introduced. The ligand, (DPM)-D-Anth-H (3), was directly deprotonated with MN ''(2) {M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn; N '' = N(SiMe3)(2)} to give ((DPM)-D-Anth)MN '' (4-8) in the form of highly fluorescent substances that are intensively colored from deep-red to purple. Crystal structures reveal in all cases monomeric complexes with tricoordinate metals. Also the crystal structure of ((DPM)-D-Anth)K, prepared by reaction of 3 with KN '', is presented. The metal's coordination sphere in complexes 4-8 is further saturated by anagostic M center dot center dot center dot MeSi interactions which are most important for the smaller metals Mg and Zn. For the larger metals, Ca-Ba, the anthracenyl-substituents assist in metal coordination. These secondary metal pi-interactions result in very high thermal stabilities. The least stable complex ((DPM)-D-Anth)BaN '' decomposes at circa 100 degrees C. The dipyrromethene complexes are clearly more stable than the corresponding beta-diketiminate complexes ((BDI)-B-DIPP)MN '' {(BDI)-B-DIPP = CH[C(Me)N-DIPP](2), DIPP =2,6-diisopropylphenyl} which partially decompose at room temperature. These heteroleptic complexes of similar constitution, with metals ranging from Mg to Ba, form a new series that is potentially useful for investigations towards metal effects in early main group metal catalysis.
