a) Infinite zig‐zag chain structure of [K{N(SiMe3)(Dipp)}]∞ (2), showing atomic connectivity between the metal and the ligand. b) Packing diagram of complex 2 (viewed along c‐axis). Thermal ellipsoids are displayed at 35 % probability and hydrogen atoms have been omitted for clarity. The dashed lines represent short K⋅⋅⋅C contacts. Symmetry operation to generate equivalent atoms denoted ′: x, −y+3/2, z−1/2. Selected bond lengths [Å] and angles [°]: K1−N1 2.6755(12); K1−C1 3.0735(14); K1−Centroid′ 2.81; Si1−N1 1.6615(14); N1−C1 1.355(2); C1−C2 1.445(2); C1‐N1‐Si1 137.47(10); C1‐N1‐K1 93.59(8); Si1‐N1‐K1 128.62(7); N1‐K1‐Centroid′ 154.53.
