“…These compounds have relatively high melting points, and are rather insoluble in common organic solvents, which is a limitation in studies of their structure and reactivity. Only a small number of compounds containing bulky ligands, e.g., Sn[C(SiMe 2 Ph) 3 ]Me 2 F [5], Sn[C(SiMe 3 ) 3 ]Ph 2 F [5], Sn[C 6 H 2 (Me 3 -2,4,6) 3 ]Me 2 F [6] and Sn(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 3 F [7], with a four-coordinated tin central atom, are monomeric with a Sn-F terminal single bond distance about 1.96 Å [8]. There is an example of the compound (Sn[(CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 ) 3 N]FÁH 2 O) with an intramolecular Sn-N interaction; the structure of this compound in the solid state has been established as tetrameric due to intermolecular fluorine and hydrogen bridges, respectively, and monomeric in solution [9].…”
