The reaction of (S)-{[(Ph(Me)CH)(PhCH2)]NNa}n with pmdeta (N,N,N′,N′,N′′-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) produces red/green dichroic crystals of the azaallylic complexes {[Ph(Me)CNC(H)Ph]Na·pmdeta}, 3, and {[(PhCH)2N]Na·pmdeta}, 2; by X-ray diffraction 3 is found to be monomeric and structurally similar to the previously characterised 2.
