A proton NMR investigation of metalmetal bonding in trimethyltin-aluminium, -gallium, -indium and -thallium organometallic compounds

Proton NMR data for the Group III methyl derivatives, MMe₃ and LiMMe₄ are compared with NMR data for the novel tin—Group III-metal bonded species, Li[Me₃SnMMe₃] (M  Al, Ga, In and Tl) and for Li[(Me₃Sn)_n-TlMe_4?n] (n = 0 to 4), reported here for the first time.The presence of tinmetal bonding in these derivatives is established by the observed tin-across-metal coupling constants and for the thallium derivatives by the additional observation of thallium-across-tin coupling.The variation in the magnitudes of ²J(SnCH), ²J(TlCH), ³J(SnMCH) and ³J(TlSnCH) are reported as a function of M and as a function of the number of Me₃Sn groups bond to thallium in the [(Me₃Sn)_nTIME₄?_n]^?anions. Proposals concerning the factors governing the changes in these coupling constants and the chemical shifts are presented.     

Interet de la deuteriation des molecules organostanniques en rmn de 119Sn : I. Acces aux constantes de couplage nJ(SnD) et application a l'etude structurale de vinyl et d'allyletains

The selective deuteration of organotin compounds gives FT ¹¹⁹Sn NMR a new proficiency, since it allows direct access to ⁿJ(SnD) coupling constants. Usually ⁿJ(SnD) is easily apparent for n  1, 2, 3 and sometimes 4 (allyltin compounds). This criterion has been successfully applied for qualitative and subsequently quantitative analysis of vinyltin and allyltin compounds.In the first series, the stereochemistry of alkyne deuterostannation has been easily explored, the assignments of configurations being made directly from ³J(SnD) on the basis of ³J(SnD)_trans > ₃J(SnD)_cis. In the second series, the method appears to be the best tool for simultaneous study of regiochemistry and stereochemistry in the substitution of 3-deutero-5-methyl-2-cyclohexenyl toluene sulphonates by trialkylstannyl anions. The choice between regioisomers was made on the basis of ₂J(SnD) >- ⁴J(SnD).A further aspect of this work is the observation of isotopic effects on ¹¹⁹Sn chemical shifts which were tentatively rationalized considering inductive, steric or hyperconjugative contribution of deuterium.     

Carbon-13 NMR studies of some organotin(IV) compounds

The ¹³C chemical shifts and ¹³C−¹¹⁹Sn, ¹¹⁷Sn coupling constants for several organotin(IV) compounds R_xSnCl_4−x (R = Me, Buⁿ, Ph; x = 1−4) have been measured in both inert (CDCl₃) and donor (DMSO-d₆) solvents, as have ¹³C data for the compounds R_xSnR′_4−x (R = Me, Ph; R′ = Buⁿ and R = Me; R′ = Ph; x = 1−3) and the compounds Me₃SnX (X = pseudo halide). The δ and ¹J(C-Sn) values appear to depend mainly on the type and number of substituents on tin and the donor ability of the solvent. There are linear relationships between the number of substituents (x) and both δ and ¹J(C-¹¹⁹Sn) for almost the R_xSnX_4−x series (R = Me, Buⁿ, Ph; X = Cl and R = Me, Buⁿ; X = Ph; x = 1−4), when measured in a single solvent, e.g. CDCl₃. There is an excellent linear relationship between ¹J(C-¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹HC-¹¹⁹Sn) for the compounds Me_xSnCl_4−x. Determination of ¹³C data for Me₃SnCl and Ph₃SnCl in a range of solvents reveals that the value of ¹J(C-Sn) increases with the donor ability of the solvent.The marked increase in the values of ¹J(C-¹¹⁹Sn) in DMSO-d₆ for the compounds R_xSnCl_4−x(R = Me, Buⁿ,Ph) on going progressively from x = 4 to x = suggest tin coordination numbers of 4, 5, 6 and 6, respectively. Some additional physical data are presented for the isolated complexes from DMSO and the compounds Ph_xSnCl_4−x(x = 1−3) and Me₃SnX with X = N₃ or OCOMe.     

High resolution CPMAS 13C NMR of organometallic solids. Observation of J coupling to tin

Chemical shift and ¹J(^117,119Sn, ¹³C) data from cross polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) proton-decoupled solid-state ¹³C NMR experiments are given for the methyltin carbon in (Me₂SnS)₃, Me₃SnOAc, Me₂S(acetylacetonate)₂, Me₂SnCl₂· 2(dimethylsulfoxide), and amorphous (Me₂SnO)_n. The relationship between the magnitude of the coupling constant and the coordination at tin is examined by reference to X-ray structure data. The tin-methyl ¹³C chemical shift was sensitive to slight variations in bond angles and bond lengths. The presence of isotopically abundant NMR-active nuclei in the molecule broadens lines, and can prevent resolution of the J coupled interaction.     

Über polystannane: II. I(t-Bu2Sn)4I,ein 1,4-difunktionelles tetrastannan

The compound I(t-Bu₂Sn)₄I has been synthesized by controlled cleavage of the related cyclotetrastannane (t-Bu₂Sn)₄ with iodine in toluene. Both compounds have been investigated by mass, NMR and vibrational spectra. I(t-Bu₂Sn)₄I: δ(¹¹⁹Sn_terminal) 67.7, δ(Sn_central) 17.4 ppm; ¹J(SnSn) 2199 (terminal-central) and 1575 (central-central), ²J(SnSn) 20 (terminal-central), ³J (SnSn) 307 Hz (terminal-terminal); ν(SnSn) 119, ν(SnI) 167 cm^?1. (t-Bu₂Sn)₄: δ(Sn) 87.4 ppm; ν(SnSn) 125 cm^?1. The crystal structure of I(t-Bu₂Sn)₄I has been determined (R = 0.071): bond lengths SnSn 289.5(1) (terminal-central) and 292.4(1) (central-central), SnI 275.3(1) pm. The conformation of the chain ISn₄I is all trans.     

‘Anomalous’ 2J(Sn?H) coupling in mono– and dichloromethyltin compounds

The linear relationship between the coupling constants ¹J(Sn? ¹³C) and ²J(Sn? H), observed for a number of organotin compounds, does not hold for coupling in the Sn? CH_nCl_3?n group of mono- and dichloromethyltin compounds. A complete determination of all NMR parameters of the compounds Me₃Sn-CH_nCl_3?n (n = 0 to 3) shows no further anomalies, indicating that steric factors must be responsible for the unusually low values of ²J(Sn? H) in the SnCH_nCl_3?n group. Molecular weight measurements support this theory, showing that the chlorine-containing compounds are associated.     

13C and 119Sn NMR spectra of Di-n-butyltin(IV) compounds

The ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra of a set of di-n-butyltin(IV) compounds and their complexes in coordinating and non-coordinating solvents have been studied. The results have shown that it is possible to describe semiquantitatively the shape of coordination polyhedra of these compounds from analysis of their δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and ¹J(¹¹⁹Sn-¹³C) parameters. The values of δ(¹¹⁹Sn) define the regions with different coordination numbers of the central tin atom, so that four-coordinate compounds have δ(¹¹⁹Sn) ranging from about + 200 to −60 ppm, five-coordinate compounds, −90 to −190 ppm, and six-coordinate compounds, −210 to −400 ppm. The values of ¹J(¹¹⁹Sn-¹³C) were used for the calculation of the CSnC angle in the coordination polyhedron of individual compounds.     

Etude par RMN 13C Et 199Hg de composes oxobromo- et dioxomercuriques

Organomercuric compounds of the general formula

and [RCOCH(R′)]₂Hg, obtained from three ketones, 2,2-dimethyl 3-pentanone, 1-mesityl 1-propanone and 1-mesityl 1-ethanone, have been studied by ¹³C and ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR techniques. Coupling constants J(CHg) and J(HgH) are consistent with C-metalated species; in each case the values of δ(C(2)) and J(C(2)H) observed are higher than expected for purely sp³ carbon. The contribution of O-metalated species and hyperconjugative effects are discussed. For two dioxomercuric compounds (R′  Me, R  t-Bu, mesityl) the existence of diastereoisomers is suggested from ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR data.     

Pulsed fourier transform NMR of substituted aryltrimethyltin derivatives : III. Proton data at 100 MHz and the derived Hammett σ-constant of the trimethyltin group

Proton NMR data at 100 MHz are reported for thirteen para- and meta-substituted phenyltrimethyltin compounds, XC₆H₄Sn(CH₃)₃, where X = para-N(CH₃)₂, para-OCH₃, para-OC₂H₅, para-CH₃, meta-CH₃, -H, para-F, meta-OCH₃, para-Cl, para-Br, meta-F, meta-Cl and para-Sn(CH₃)₃. Correlation coefficients with Hammett σ-constants of greater than 0.95 are obtained with the methyltin proton chemical shifts and coupling constants to carbon [¹J(¹³C¹H)] and tin [²J(SnC¹H)]. Solvent effects and other extraneous factors invalidate comparisons of ? values in terms of the relative attenuation of the transmission of substituent effects through homologous carbon, silicon, germanium and tin systems, but coupling constant data reflect a diminution of ca. one tenthfold per bond in the order ?[C(1)Sn] > ? [SnC] > ? [CH]. Satisfactory correlations (r > 0.95) are obtained in this series of closely-related compounds among the conventionally recorded two-bond, ²J(SnC¹H) and the constituent, one-bond ¹J (Sn¹³C) and J(¹³C¹H) coupling constants, but the correlation coefficient for the comparison between the two one-bond couplings, ¹J(Sn¹³C) and ¹J(¹³C¹H) is lower (r = 0.872). Changes in the couplings at the methyltin carbon bond tin-119 atoms are interpreted in terms of isovalent hybridization; a model based upon effective nuclear charges is tested with respect to both NMR coupling constants and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer Isomer shifts at tin and is invalidated. Proton and carbon-13 NMR, chemical shift and coupling constant data are used to derive a Hammett σ-constant for the para-trimethyltin group of ?0.14, and the significance of this value is discussed.     

13 C 183W-Kopplungen als sonde für metall—carbin-, —carbenund—alkyl-bindungen

Carbon-13 NMR data are reported for trimethyltin derivatives containing ER_n groups where E  C, Si, Ge, Sn, N, O and S including a series of cyclic amines with ring sizes from three to seven. Coupling constant values for the homologous series of fourth group derivatives give goood correlations with the electronegativity of E. The observation of the two-bond, ¦ ²J(¹¹⁹SnE¹³C) ¦ couplings only in the derivatives containing bulky R groups is rationalized by a bimolecular exchange of ER_n groups in the concentrated solutions studied.     

The preparation and 119Sn and 19F NMR spectra of some trifluoromethylphenyltin(IV) compounds

The preparation of a series of new trifluoromethylphenyltin(IV) compounds, Bu_nSn(C₆H₄CF₃-3)_4-n, (C₆H₄CF₃-3)SnCl₃, (C₆H₄CF₃-2)SnCl₃, and some related adducts with 2,2¹-bipyridyl and 1,10-phenanthroline, is described. ¹¹⁹Sn and ¹⁹F chemical shifts have been determined, together with values of J(¹¹⁹Sn=F) and ³J(¹¹⁹Sn=H_itortho), and the possibility of a “through space” tinfluorine coupling mechanism is also discussed.     

The synthesis,NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) and IR spectral studies of some di‐ and tri‐organotin(IV) sulfonates: X‐ray crystal structure of [(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OSO2C6H4CH3‐4)2·2H2O]

A number of alkyltin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, R_nSn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)_4?n (n = 2, 3; R = C₂H₅, n‐C₃H₇, n‐C₄H₉), have been prepared and IR spectra and solution NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) are reported for these compounds, including (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), the NMR spectra of which have not been reported previously. From the chemical shift δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere in solutions of these compounds is suggested. IR spectra of the compounds are very similar to that observed for the paratoluenesulfonate anion in its sodium salt. The studies indicate that diorganotin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, and the previously reported compounds (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), contain bridging SO₃X groups that yield polymeric structures with hexacoordination around tin and contain non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. In triorganotin(IV) sulfonates, pentacoordination for tin with a planar SnC₃ skeleton and bidentate bridging paratoluenesulfonate anionic groups are suggested by IR and NMR spectral studies. The X‐ray structure shows [(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)₂·2H₂O] to be monomeric containing six‐coordinate tin and crystallizes from methanol–chloroform in monoclinic space group C2/c. The Sn? O (paratoluenesulfonate) bond distance (2.26(2) Å) is indicative of a relatively high degree of ionic character in the metal–anion bonds. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Carbon-13 fourier transform NMR studies of organotin compounds : III. Carbon-13 chemical shifts and tin-119—carbon-13 spin—spin coupling constants in acyclic,monocyclic and bicyclic organostannanes

Carbon-13 NMR parameters for 33 organotin compounds with a variety of structurul features were investigated in order to obtain information about the relationship between their structure and ¹³C NMR parameters. It was found that the substitution of a proton by a trialkyltin group generally produces an upfield shift for the directly bonded carbon. The γ-nuclei usually resonate at lower fields except where there is appreciable steric strain while the β-carbons undergo relatively constant shifts of approximately 3.5 to 4.5 ppm to lower fields. The magnitude of direct bond coupling Jz-sfnc;¹J(¹¹⁹Sn¹³C)z-sfnc; is influenced by the hybridization of the tin and the directly attached carbon atoms. In rigid organitins, the vicinal coupling constants show a Karplus type variation. In aliphatic organotins, the values of the vicinal¹¹⁹Sn¹³C coupling indicates a flexible molecular framework with a clear cut preference for certain conformations.     

Substituent chemical shifts of the organotin moiety in compounds of the type RSnMenCl3 − n (n = 0 to 3; R = n-alkyl)

The ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra of 33 organotin compounds of the type RSnMe_nCl_{3 ? n} and related types are discussed. The substituent effects of the groups SnMe₃, SnMe₂Cl, SnMeCl₂ and SnCl₃ (and of some related groups) on the carbon chemical shifts in the alkyl group R have been determined; the SnMe₃ group causes a small upfield shift of the carbon attached to it, while the other groups cause downfield shifts. The shifts show a monotonic change on replacing methyl groups in Me₃Sn by chlorine atoms. The effects on carbons further removed from the tin atom are discussed. Variation in R causes little change in ⁿJ(Sn? C) or δ(¹¹⁹Sn).     

Silylmethyl and silylamino groups as ligands in tin(II), tin(IV), lead(II) and lead(IV) compounds—a multinuclear magnetic resonance study

We have studied tin(II), tin(IV), lead(II) and lead(IV) compounds of the type M[CH(SiMe₃)₂]₂ (5), M[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ (6), M[N(SiMe₃)SiMe₂^tBu]₂ (7), Me₃MCH₂SiMe₃ (1), Me₃MCH(SiMe₃)₂ (3), Me₃MNHSiMe₂^tBu (2), Me₃MN(SiMe₃)₂ (4), Me₂M[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂, (8) and (Me₃M)₂NSiMe₂^tBu (9) by ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ²⁹Si, ¹¹⁹Sn and ²⁰⁷Pb NMR spectroscopy. In some cases, two-dimensional (2-D) ¹³C/¹H and ²⁹Si/¹H heteroscalar-correlated NMR spectra served for the comparison of the signs of the respective coupling constants [ⁿJ(M ¹³C), ²J(M²⁹Si) and ⁿJ(M¹H)]. The ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR parameter of comparable compounds (replacement of the CH or CH₂ fragment by a nitrogen atom or the NH group, respectively), show analogous trends. In the monomeric M(II) compounds (5, 6, 7) the peculiar electronic situation at the metal is reflected by the extreme deshielding of the metal nuclei (e.g. δ²⁰⁷ Pb for 5b = +9110 ppm), by the strongly deshielded ¹³C (5) and ¹⁵N nuclei (6, 7), as well as by large negative contributions to the reduced nuclear spin—spin coupling constants ¹K(M¹³C) (5) and ¹K(M¹⁵N) (6). In the M(II) compounds 5 the ¹¹⁹Sn and, in particular, the ²⁰⁷Pb longitudinal and transverse nuclear relaxation is dominated by the chemical-shift-anisotropy mechanism. This is also true for 6 and 7, in which the transverse relaxation rate is further increased by scalar relaxation of the second kind owing to partially relaxed scalar coupling ¹J(M¹⁴N).     

Untersuchungen zum elektronischen einfluss von organylliganden: IV. 13C-NMR-spektroskopische untersuchung der gegenseitigen beeinflussung von organylliganden in triethylzinnorganylverbindungen

By means of ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, the coupling constants ¹J(¹¹⁹Sn¹³C_Et) of 18 compounds of the SnEt₃R type (R = organo group) have been measured. These coupling constants have been shown to reflect the change induced by R in the s-content of the tin hybrid orbitals of the SnCEt bonds. The series of the influence of R obtained on the basis of the coupling constant mentioned as a parameter is compared with a trans-influence series of R obtained on organo-mercury compounds. Occurring differences are attributed to different modes of bonding of the group R at the central atom.     

Long-range nuclear spin-spin coupling between 11B and 13C, 29Si or 119Sn: a promising tool for structural assignment

The influence of unresolved long-range nuclear spin-spin coupling [ⁿJ(¹¹BX) (n > 1; X = ¹³C, ²⁹Si or ¹¹⁹Sn)] on X resonances has been studied for aminoboranes (1 and 2), haloboration (2 and 4), hydroboration (5) and organoboration products of alkynes (6 and 7). The differential broadening of X resonances in the X NMR spectra arising from ⁿJ(¹¹BX) (most obvious for X= ¹¹⁹Sn) shows a qualitatively useful pattern of various coupling pathways. |²J(¹³CN-¹¹B)| in 1 and 2 appears to be sensitive to the nature of the trans-ligand and to the ring rize. In many alkenylboranes (3, 4, 5b and d, 6 and 7) the magnitude of the coupling constants across the CC double bond follows the trend |²J(¹¹BX)| ∼ |³J(¹¹BX)|_cis < |³J(¹¹BX)|_trans. An increasing number of electropositive substituents at the CC double bond causes an increase in the magnitude of |³J(¹¹BX)|_cis,trans. If there are only organyl groups of hydrogen attached to the CC double bond, as in the hydroboration products of alkynes (5a and c) |ⁿJ(¹³C-¹¹B)| appears to be too small with respect to [T_Q(¹¹B)]⁻¹, and the differential broadening was neglibible under the experimental conditions used.     

Phosphin-stabilisierte carbonylnitrosylvanadium-verbindungen: Darstellung und spektroskopische eigenschaften

Numerous new complexes of the type V(CO)₅_n(NO)L_n, have been prepared either by nitrosylation of [V(CO)₆_nL_n]^?(n  2, 3) with NOX (X  Cl, BF₄) and [Co(NO)₂Br]₂, resp., or by reaction of L with “V(CO)₅NO” generated in situ. The compounds comprise n  1: L  PPh₃, PMe₂H, P(OMe)₃ and Ph₂PCH_2?PPh₂ (dppm); n  2: L₂2  2 PMe₂H, 2 PMe₃, 2 P(OMe)₃, dppm, Ph₂P(CH₂)_2?PPh₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₃,PPh₂, Me₂P(CH₂)₂PMe₂, Ph₂As(CH₂)₂AsPh₂, o_?C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂ (diars) and o_?C₆H₄(AsPh₂)PPh₂; n  3: L₃  1.5 diars and CH₃C(CH₂PPh₂)₃. IR (CO and NO stretching region) and ⁵¹V NMR spectra are discussed; for n  2 and 3, the positions of the arsine and phosphine ligands relative to NO are either cis for all the ligand functions (arsines) or cis/trans.     

119mSn-Mössbauer-spektren von funktionell substituierten stannylenen und ihren stannio-komplexen mit chrom,molybdän- und wolfram-carbonyl-acceptoren

^119mSn Mössbauer data for a series of base-stabilized, intermolecularly associated tin(II) compounds ith O, Cl, P and As atoms bonded to tin are compared with isomer shifts (IS) and quadrupole splittings (QS) of their stannio complex derivatives with Cr, Mo and W carbonyls. Coordination at the tin lone-pair atom decreases IS to ca. 2.1 ± 0.2 mm s^?1 and increases the QS. QS values reflect the highly associated nature of the complexes (CO)₅MSn(Cl)E(t-Bu)₂ (M Cr, W; E  P, As) which are bridged through μ-E(t-Bu)₂ groups.     

Protonation of metal carbonyl complexes : VII. Proton NMR spectra and stereochemistry of protonated forms of π-cyclopentadienylphosphinemanganese complexes

¹H NMR measurements show that protonation of the complexes π-C₅H₅Mn-CO)_3-n(PR₃)n (n = 1 and 2) with CF₃COOH occurs at the manganese atom, the spectra revealing “hydride” signal at δ values of -4 to -6 ppm. The stereochemistry of the protonated forms has been determined from the ¹H  ³¹P couling pattern.
