Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two Tin(Ⅳ) Complexes with Aminosilane Bearing Ligand

Aminosilane bearing bulky substituents on nitrogen: LH2(L=Me2Si(NDipp-)2 , Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) was reacted with BuLi in toluene. The resulting bulky chelating dianion Me2Si(NDipp-)2 was used to synthesize the unusual spirocyclic heterotriatomic complex [Me2Si(NDipp)2]2Sn (1) by its reaction with SnCl4 and the bulky heterotriatomic complex Me2Si(NDipp)2SnPh2 (2) with Ph2SnCl2.1 belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a=13.193(2), b=20.663(3), c=20.403(3), β=99.954(2)o, V=5478.3(15)3 , C55H85.5N4Si2Sn, Mr=977.64, Z=4, Dc=1.185Mg/m3 , μ(MoKα)=0.547mm-1 , F(000)=2086, S=1.000, the final R=0.0614 and wR=0.1322 for 14446 observed reflections (I2σ(I)) and R=0.0797 and wR=0.1456 for all data. 2 belongs to the triclinic system, space group Pī with a=10.36(15), b=13.204(7), c=14.363(7), α=90.214(10), β=106.182(7), γ=109.854(8)o, V=1764.4(15)3 , C38H50N2SiSn, Mr=681.58, Z=2, Dc=1.283 Mg/m3 , μ(MoKα)=0.785 mm-1 , F(000)=712, S=1.002, the final R=0.0498 and wR=0.0955 for 7533 observed reflections (I2σ(I)) and R=0.0676 and wR=0.1018 for all data. In the structure of 1, the tin atom is located in the spirocyclic center of the two fused four-membered SnN 2 Si rings. The two complexes were characterized by 1H NMR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray structural analysis.
