  ABSTRACT: This contribution describes the synthesis and structural characterization of a triaminoguanidinium (TAG)-based ligand [H6(OMe)3Limin]BF4 (1) containing imine bonds (Limin) and its reduction with a dimethylamino borane complex to the corresponding amine compound (Lamin)[H9(OMe)3Lamin]OTs (2). In solution, both ligands are C3-symmetric but crystal structures show the great influence of the reduction on the molecular structure. We show that the planar imine ligand is converted to a highly flexible compound which has nine potential coordination sites, three phenoxy and six amine donors, for binding metal ions. First solid state structures of 1:1 (metal:ligand) coordination compounds with SnIV and ZrIV are presented. SnIV exhibits an octahedral coordination sphere and is bound in a facial [ONN] coordination pocket. ZrIV is pentagonal bipyramidal coordinated and the ligand stabilizes this with its’ [ONNO] binding sites.
