Abstract: | The Sn/P cage compounds Sn10(tBuP)4] ( 1 ) and Sn10(tBuP)7Cl4] ( 2 ) were obtained by the reaction of LitBuPH with SnBr2 and SnCl2, respectively. Theoretical calculations confirm that the tin atoms in 2 feature different formal oxidation states. The reaction of PbCl2 with LitBuPH and LiPHSiiPr3 yields the Pb/P cage compounds Pb7(tBuP)7] ( 3 ) and Pb6(PSiiPr3)6] ( 4 ), respectively, that represent new derivatives of known polyhedrons of this class of compounds. The new products were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis and partially by MS and MAS‐NMR spectroscopy. |
