Cyclische Diazastannylene. XIX. Zur Reaktion eines Bis(amino)germylens, -stannylens und -plumbylens mit Phosphortrichlorid und 2, 3-Dimethyl-1, 3-butadien

Cyclic Diazastannylenes. XIX. Reaction of a Bis(amino)germylene, -stannylene, and -plumbylene with Phosphorus Trichloride and 2, 3-Dimethyl-1, 3-butadiene The cyclic bis(amino)germylene 1 reacts with PCl₃ by a threefold insertion into the P? Cl bonds and forms [Me₂Si(N^tBu)₂Ge(Cl)]₃P( 4 ). 4 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with cell dimensions: a = 1955.2(9), b = 1378.3(6), c = 1074.3(5) pm, α = 90.4(1), β = 121.6(1), γ = 97.9(1)° and Z = 2. X-ray structure analysis was used to show, that the molecule 4 has approximately C_3h point symmetry. All germanium, chlorine, and silicon atoms are quite accurately situated in a plane, perpendicular to which the GeN₂Si-rings are erected. The only heavy atom which disturbs the mirror symmetry is the phosphorus, which is on the top of a flat pyramide (Ge? P? Ge = 115.0°). Important bond lengths (mean values) are: Ge? P = 231.0(4), Ge? N = 182.4(7), Ge? Cl = 217.9(2) and Si? N = 173.6(7) pm. The unusual nearly planar coordination of the phosphorus atom can be explained by the particular steric requirements of the substituents. PCl₃ oxidizes the tin atom in the bis(amino)stannylene 2 by the formation of Me₂Si(N^tBu)₂SnCl₂ ( 5 ); as additional product originates an amorphous solid of analytical composition (PCl)_n. In contrast to 1 and 2 the lead atom     

Synthese und Strukturbestimmung von (tBuP)4Sn(CH3)2 und (CH3)2Sn[(tBu)P?P(tBu)]2Sn(CH3)2

Synthesis and Structure Analysis of (tBuP)₄Sn(CH₃)₂ and (CH₃)₂Sn[(tBu)P? P(tBu)]₂Sn(CH₃)₂ The diphosphides K₂[(tBu)P? (tBuP)₂? P(tBu)] 7 or K₂[(tBu)P? P(tBu)] 8 react with (CH₃)₂SnCl₂ in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 to form the binary 5-membered ring system P₄Sn 4 a and the 6-membered ring system Sn(P₂)₂Sn 5 a respectively. When (CH₃)₂SnCl₂, however, is treated with 8 in a molar ratio of 2 : 1 the 4-membered ring system P₃Sn 2 a is formed which includes the fragmentation of the intermediate K₂[(CH₃)₂Sn ((tBu)P? P(tBu))₂] 9. 4 a and 5 a could be obtained in a pure form and characterized NMR spectroscopically and by X-ray structure analyses; 2 a was identified only NMR spectroscopically.     

Neue molekulare Indium‐Zinn‐Sauerstoff‐ und Indium‐Zinn‐Natrium‐Sauerstoff‐Chlor‐Cluster

Abstract. The five‐membered heteroelement cluster THF · Cl₂In(O^tBu)₃Sn reacts with the sodium stannate [Na(O^tBu)₃Sn]₂ to produce either the new oxo‐centered alkoxo cluster ClInO[Sn(O^tBu)₂]₃ ( 1 ) (in low yield) or the heteroleptic alkoxo cluster Sn(O^tBu)₃InCl₃Na[Sn(O^tBu)₂]₂ ( 2 ). X‐ray diffraction analyses reveal that in compound 1 the polycyclic entity is made of three tin atoms which together with a central oxygen atom form a trigonal, almost planar triangle, perpendicular to which a further indium atom is connected through the oxygen atom. The metal atoms thus are arranged in a Sn₃In pyramid, the edges of which are all saturated by bridging tert‐butoxy groups. The indium atom has a further chloride ligand. Compound 2 has two trigonal bipyramids as building blocks which are fused together at a six coordinate indium atom. One of the bipyramids is of the type SnO₃In with tert‐butyl groups on the oxygen atoms, while the other has the composition InCl₃Na with chlorine atoms connecting the two metals. The sodium atom in 2 has further contacts to two plus one alkoxide groups which are part of a[Sn(O^tBu)₂]₂ dimer disposing of a Sn₂O₂ central cycle. The hetero element cluster in 2 thus combines three closed entities and its skeleton SnO₃InCl₃NaO₂Sn₂O₂ consists of three different metallic and two different non‐metallic elements.

Spectrum, and Crystal Structure (P(C₆H₅)₄)₂[OsCl₃(NO)(SnCl₃)₂] yields from the reaction of OsCl₃(NO) with PPh₄-[SnCl₃] in dichloro methane forming red crystals. The complex crystallizes monoclinic in the space group C2/c with four formula units per unit cell. The crystal structure was determined by aid of X-ray diffraction data (2261 independent, observed reflexions, R = 4.9%). The cell parameters are a = 1369, b = 1989, c = 2088 pm, β = 99.54°. The structure consists of tetraphenyl phosphonium cations and [OsCl₃(NO)(SnCl₃)₂]^2?-anions. In the anion the osmium is coordinated octahedrally by three chlorine atoms (mean bond length r Os? Cl 238 pm), two SnCl₃ groups in transposition to each other (r Os? Sn 265 pm) and the N-atom of the covalently bonded nitrosyl ligand (r Os? N 173 pm). The i.r. spectrum of the anion is reported and assigned.     

Synthese der Stannatetraphospholane (tBuP)4SnR2 (R = tBu,nBu, C6H5) und (tBuP)4Sn(Cl)nBu Molekül- und Kristallstruktur von (tBuP)4Sn(tBu)2

Synthesis of the Stannatetraphospholanes (tBuP)₄SnR₂ (R = tBu, nBu, C₆H₅) and (tBuP)₄Sn(Cl)nBu Molecular and Crystal Structure of (tBuP)₄Sn(tBu)₂ The reaction of the diphosphide K₂[tBuP-(tBuP)₂-PtBu] 4 with the halogenostannanes (tBu)₂SnCl₂, (nBu)₂SnCl₂, (C₆H₅)₂SnCl₂ or nBuSnCl₃ in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 leads via a [4 + 1]-cyclocondensation reaction to the stannatetraphospholanes (tBuP)₄SnR₂ 3 b–3 d and (tBuP)₄Sn(Cl)nBu 3 e , respectively, with the binary 5-membered P₄Sn ring system. 3 b was characterized by a single crystal structure analysis; the 5-membered ring exists in a planar conformation. The compounds 3 b–3 e were identified by NMR and also by mass spectroscopy; the ³¹P{¹H}-NMR spectra of 3 b–3 d showed an AA′MM′ (AA′MM′X), 3 e on the other hand an ABCD (ABCDX) spin system.     

Chalcogenide Derivatives of Imidotin Cage Complexes

Reaction of the secocubane [Sn₃(μ₂‐NHtBu)₂(μ₂‐NtBu)(μ₃‐NtBu)] ( 1 ) with dibutylmagnesium produces the heterobimetallic cubane [Sn₃Mg(μ₃‐NtBu)₄] ( 4 ) which forms the monochalcogenide complexes of general formula [ESn₃Mg(μ₃‐NtBu)₄] ( 5 a , E=Se; 5 b , E=Te) upon reaction with elemental chalcogens in THF. By contrast, the reaction of the anionic lithiated cubane [Sn₃Li(μ₃‐NtBu)₄]^? with the appropriate quantity of selenium or tellurium leads to the sequential chalcogenation of each of the three Sn^II centres. Pure samples of the mono‐ or dichalcogenides are, however, best obtained by stoichiometric redistribution reactions of [Sn₃Li(μ₃‐NtBu)₄]^? and the trichalcogenides [E₃Sn₃Li(μ₃‐NtBu)₄]^? (E=Se, Te). These reactions are conveniently monitored by using ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. The anion [Sn₃Li(μ₃‐NtBu)₄]^? also acts as an effective chalcogen‐transfer reagent in reactions of selenium with the neutral cubane [{Snμ₃‐N(dipp)}₄] ( 8 ) (dipp=2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) to give the dimer [(thf)Sn{μ‐N(dipp)}₂Sn(μ‐Se)₂Sn{μ‐N(dipp)}₂Sn(thf)] ( 9 ), a transformation that results in cleavage of the Sn₄N₄ cubane into four‐membered Sn₂N₂ rings. The X‐ray structures of 4 , 5 a , 5 b , [Sn₃Li(thf)(μ₃‐NtBu)₄(μ₃‐Se)(μ₂‐Li)(thf)]₂ ( 6 a ), [TeSn₃Li(μ₃‐NtBu)₄][Li(thf)₄] ( 6 b ), [Te₂Sn₃Li(μ₃‐NtBu)₄][Li([12]crown‐4)₂] ( 7 b′′ ) and 9 are presented. The fluxional behaviour of cubic imidotin chalcogenides and the correlation between NMR coupling constants and tin–chalcogen bond lengths are also discussed.     

Zur Element-Stickstoff-Doppelbindung in Kationen cyclischer Bis(amino)-phospha-, -arsa-, -stiba- und -bismutane

The Element-Nitrogen Double Bond in Cations of Cyclic Bis(amino)phospha-, -arsa-, -stiba-, and bismuthines Bis(amino)sila-phospha, -arsa-, -stiba-, and bismaetidines which bear a positive charge and incorporate a formally two valent element of group V are obtained from the corresponding bis(amino)elementchlorides by transfer of the chloride anion to the Lewis acids AlCl₃, GaCl₃, and InCl₃. X-ray structure analyses on the compounds Me₂Si(N^tBu)₂P⁺AlCl₄- ( 2a ), Me₂Si(N^tBu)₂Sb⁺AlCl₄- ( 2c ), and Me₂Si(N^tBu)₂Bi⁺AlCl₄ -( 2d ) reveal that the electron lack at the element(V) can be compensated by two different bonding mechanisms. In the case of the phosphorus derivative 2a the electronic balance is accomplished by intramolecular backbonding from the neighbouring nitrogen atoms (mean N-P⁺ = 163.3 pm). In the antimony and bismuth derivatives ( 2c and 2d ) the chlorine atoms of the AlCl₄ anions coordinate to the unsaturated element(V) in an intermolecular manner (mean: Sb·Cl = 305, Bi ?Cl = 309 pm). The N? Si? N group which is identical in all molecules, may be used as a probe for the electronic balance within the ring systems. The bond lengths and angles vary dramatically with respect to the electron acceptor properties of the element to which the group is bonded. 2a forms orthorhombic crystals, space group Pnma, Z = 8 (a = 3023.7(9), b = 1001.0(3), c = 1414.6(5) pm), and 2c and 2d are isotypic, again orthorhombic, space group Pbca with Z = 8 ( 2c a = 2030.8(8), b = 1193.1(4), c = 1777.1(6) pm; 2d : a = 2025.9(8), b = 1198.0(4), c = 1761.3(6) pm).     

Hydroxoverbindungen. 10. Über die Natriumoxohydroxostannate(II) Na4[Sn4O(OH)10] und Na2[Sn2O(OH)4]

Hydroxo Compounds. 10. The Sodium Oxohydroxostannates(II) Na₄[Sn₄O(OH)₁₀] and Na₂[Sn₂O(OH)₄] Na₄[Sn₄O(OH)₁₀] = Na₄[Sn(OH)₃]₂[Sn₂O(OH)₄] ( I ) and Na₂[Sn₂O(OH)₄] ( II ) have now been doubtlessly characterized as the first Na-hydroxostannates(II). I crystallizes monoclinic in P2₁/n (a = 1522.4(5) pm, b = 830.0(2) pm, c = 1276.0(3) pm, β = 104.8(2)°, Z = 4, R = 0.047, 1137 I_hkl); II crystallizes orthorhombic in P2₁2₁2₁ (a = 1450(2) pm, b = 1665(2) pm, c = 590.7(8) pm, Z = 8, R = 0.042, 1208 I_hkl). II is identical with the compound which was described up to now as “Na[Sn(OH)₃]”. The new compounds contain the complex anions [Sn(OH)₃]^? and [Sn₂O(OH)₄]^2?, whose structures are now proved. The oxotetrahydroxo-distannate(II) anion [Sn₂O(OH)₄]^2? exhibits a syn-conformation with respect to the projection along the (Sn? Sn) vector. The two compounds crystallize with pronounced layer structures, which show direct topotactical relations with one another as well as with SnO. This relates closely to the fast formation of SnO from crystals of I and II .     

Crystal Structures of [Bu2Sn(O2PPh2)2], [Ph2Sn(O2PPh2)2], and [PhClSn(O2PPh2)OMe]2. Raman Spectra of [Ph2Sn(O2PPh2)2] and [PhClSn(O2PPh2)OMe]2

[(n‐Bu)₂Sn(O₂PPh₂)₂] ( 1 ), and [Ph₂Sn(O₂PPh₂)₂] ( 2 ) have been synthesized by the reactions of R₂SnCl₂ (R=n‐Bu, Ph) with HO₂PPh₂ in Methanol. From the reaction of Ph₂SnCl₂ with diphenylphosphinic acid a third product [PhClSn(O₂PPh₂)OMe]₂ ( 3 ) could be isolated. X‐ray diffraction studies show 1 to crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 1303.7(1) pm, b = 2286.9(2) pm, c = 1063.1(1) pm, β = 94.383(6)°, and Z = 4. 2 crystallizes triclinic in the space group , the cell parameters being a = 1293.2(2) pm, b = 1478.5(4) pm, c = 1507.2(3) pm, α = 98.86(3)°, β = 109.63(2)°, γ = 114.88(2)°, and Z = 2. Both compounds form arrays of eight‐membered rings (SnOPO)₂ linked at the tin atoms to form chains of infinite length.

It crystallizes triclinic in space group with a = 946.4(1) pm, b = 963.7(1) pm, c = 1174.2(1) pm, α = 82.495(6)°, β = 66.451(6)°, γ = 74.922(6)°, and Z = 1 for the dimer. The Raman spectra of 2 and 3 are given and discussed.

119Sn- and 31P-NMR. Spectroscopy of the 5-coordinate complexes [Rh (SnClnBr(3−n)) (norbornadiene) (tertiary phosphine)2]

The products of the reaction of [RhCl (NBD)]₂ (NBD = norbornadiene), with four equivalents tertiary phosphine and two equivalents of tin (II) bromide have been studied by ¹¹⁹Sn- and ³¹P-NMR. spectroscopy. The solution data suggest that halogen scrambling occurs during the preparation and results in a mixture of complexes containing SnBr₃, SnClBr₂, and SnCl₂Br and SnCl₃ ligands, and this is confirmed by independent synthesis of the SnCl₃ and SnBr₃ complexes. The metalmetal coupling constants, ¹J (¹¹⁹Sn, ¹⁰³Rh), vary from 452 to 580 Hz and are linearly related to: (a) δ(¹¹⁹Sn) in the complexes [Rh (SnCl_nBr_(3-n))NBD (PEtPh₂)₂] and (b) the sum of the Pauling electronegativities for the halogens on tin.     

Chalcogenide Derivatives of the seco‐Cubane [Sn3(μ2‐NHtBu)2(μ2‐NtBu)(μ3‐NtBu)]

A series of monochalcogenide derivatives of the seco‐cubane [Sn₃(μ₂‐NHtBu)₂(μ₂‐NtBu)(μ₃‐NtBu)] has been prepared and characterized by NMR and X‐ray crystallographic studies. These complexes exhibit different tin‐chalcogen bonding modes. In the case of the monotelluride, a terminal Sn=Te bond was observed in solution and in the solid state, whereas for the monosulfide, a μ₂ bridging mode was adopted by the sulfur atoms. The monoselenide was found to employ both bonding modes in solution, although only the terminal Sn=Se bonding mode was structurally characterized. The complexes undergo chalcogen exchange between tin atoms in solution, and this process was studied by variable temperature NMR.

One of them is surrounded by four N‐hydrogen atoms of four (H₂NPPh₃)⁺ ions, four CH₃CN molecules form N–H···N≡C–CH₃ contacts with the other four N‐hydrogen atoms of the cations. Thus, 1 can be written as [(H₂NPPh₃)₄(CH₃CN)₄(SnCl₆)]²⁺[SnCl₆]^2?.     

A Zwitterionic Tetrastanna(II) Cyclic Crown

A 12-membered zwitterionic tetrastanna(II) cycle 1 having a crown ether-like topology has been isolated from the deprotonation of 1,1′-methylenediimidazole ( B ) with two equivalents of Sn[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ ( A ). The solid-state structure and NMR analysis confirms the tetrastanna(II) cycle 1 to be comprised of two stannate(II) and two stannyliumylidene ion pairs in alternating positions of the heterocycle. Computational analysis shows greater nucleophilicity at the proximally located stannate(II) centers. Nonetheless, the tetrastanna(II) cycle 1 remains poorly reactive due to engagement of Sn^II lone pair electrons in intramolecular donor-acceptor interactions. Simple deprotonation reaction between Sn[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ ( A ) and N-(diisopropylphenyl)imidazole ( C ) in equimolar ratio has led to a stannylene 2 , involving the formation of a Sn−C covalent bond with the anionic imidazol-2-yl carbon center along with the release of NH(SiMe₃)₂. Compound 2 exists as a dimer, where the unsubstituted ring nitrogen atom coordinated intermolecularly to the other stannylene center.
