A stable O,N‐heterocyclic stannylene 1 bearing novel tetradentate 2,4‐di‐tert‐butyl‐6‐((2‐(1‐((pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)imino)ethyl)phenyl)amino)phenolate ligand (RAPH2) was synthesized and characterized. Complex 1 is monomeric in crystal and solution due to two additional intramolecular N → Sn donor–acceptor interactions. The diverse reactivity of compound 1 towards various iron carbonyl compounds was studied. Oxidative addition of [Fe2(μ‐S2)(CO)6]2 to the tin center of 1 resulted in a new six‐coordinate Sn(IV) compound 2 containing two Sn–S bonds. The reaction of 1 with Fe2(CO)9 led to the formation of a stable tin(II) adduct 3 – RAPSn‐Fe(CO)4. The interaction between 1 and [(η5‐C5H5)Fe(CO)2]2 resulted in a transformation of the ligand skeleton. During this reaction, the tin center is oxidized to the tetravalent state, and the donor ═N–CH2–Py group is converted into an anionic one with the loss of the methylene hydrogen atom. The molecular structures of all obtained compounds were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The novel stannylene 1 demonstrates striking activity in benzaldehydes' hydroboration reactions down to 0.02 mole percent of the catalyst loading under mild conditions.

We report the synthesis, structural investigation, and thermal behavior for three zinc-based 1D-coordination polymers with 3,6-di-tert-butyl-2,5-dihydroxy-p-benzoquinone, which were synthesized in the presence of different glycols. The interaction of zinc nitrate with glycols, followed by using the resulting solution in solvothermal synthesis with the anilate ligand in DMF, makes it possible to obtain linear polymer structures with 1,2-ethylene or 1,2-propylene glycols coordinated to the metal. The reaction involving 1,3-propylene glycol under similar conditions gives a crystal structure that does not contain a diol. The crystal and molecular structures of the synthesized compounds were determined using single crystal by X-ray structural analysis. The influence of glycol molecules coordinated to the metal on the thermal destruction of synthesized compounds is shown.
