The synthesis of the stannasiloxanes and [Cp(CO) 2 Fe] 2 Sn(OSiPh 3 ) 2 (7a), the monoorganotin trichloride Me 3 SiCH 2 SnCl 3 (13), and the organotin oxocluster (Me 3 SiCH 2 -Sn) 12 O 14 (OH) 6 Cl 2 ( 14) is reported. Their identity was confirmed by both solution and solid state multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and in the case of 1, 2, 6, 7a, and 14 also by singlecrystal X-ray analyses. A spinning sideband analysis of the 119 Sn MAS spectra reveals the coordination geometries of the tin atoms in the stannasiloxanes 1 and 2 to be different from those of related diorganotin oxides (R 2 SnO) n (R ) Me, Et). In solution, 1 and 2 exhibit an intramolecular exchange process as well as monomer-dimer equilibria. The reaction of 4 with cyclo-(t-Bu 2 SnO) 3 and of cyclo-[(Me 3 SiCH 2 ) 2 SnO] 3 with cyclo-(t-Bu 2 SnO) 3 provided evidence for the formation in situ of the mixed tetraorganodistannoxane t-Bu 2 (Me 3 SiO)-SnOSn(OSiMe 3 )(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 2 (10) and of the hexaorganotristannoxanes cyclo-[(Me 3 SiCH 2 ) 2 -Sn(OSnt-Bu 2 ) 2 O] (11) and cyclo-{t-Bu 2 Sn[OSn(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 O} (12).
The synthesis is reported of the novel stannasiloxanes cyclo-M(OSiPh2)2O (1, M =
Sn[(CH2)3NMe2]2; 2, M = Sn[(CH2)3N(Me)CH2]2; 4, M = Sn[Cp(CO)2Fe]2; 5, M = Sn[Cp(CO)3W]2; 6, M = Sn(t-Bu)[Cp(CO)3W]) and cyclo-(Ph2SiOSnR2O)2 (3, R = (CH2)3NMe2), and
of the stannagermoxane cyclo-t-Bu2Sn(OGePh2)2O (7). The molecular structures are described
of 1−4, 6, and 7. The compounds exhibit reduced ring strain as a result of either
intramolecular Sn−N coordination (1, 2) or electronic influence of the transition-metal
fragments (4−6), and consequently they are six-membered rings in solution as well as in
the solid state, whereas compound 3 is an eight-membered ring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
