Metallocanes of group 14 elements 2. Derivatives of tin (Review)

Abstract

Results on the synthesis of stannocanes -eight-membered heterocycles with the general formula D(CH 2 CH 2 Z) 2 SnXY -are reviewed and analyzed. The chemical behavior of the compounds is examined, and the nature of the transannular bond is studied.

Structure of hypercoordinated monoorganodihalostannanes in solutions and in the solid state: the halogen effect

“…Whereas tri-and diorganotin(IV) complexes remain the most investigated among the series of hypercoordinated tin, monoorganotin(IV) complexes are very rare and have been studied mostly with monodentate electrondonating ligands [11]. Notable exceptions include "estertin" (β-carboalkoxyethyltins) compounds [12], stannatranes [13], stannocanes [14] and related compounds [15].…”
