Abstract
Reaction of [(PPh 2=NSiMe 3)(PPh 2=S)CSn:] 2 (1) with elemental sulfur in toluene afforded [{(μ-S)Sn IVC(PPh 2=NSiMe 3)(PPh 2=S)} 3Sn II(μ 3-S)] (2) and [CH 2(PPh 2=NSiMe 3)(PPh 2=S)] (3). Compound 2 comprises a Sn IIS moiety coordinated with the Sn IV and S atoms of a trimeric 2-stannathiomethendiide {(PPh 2=NSiMe 3)(PPh 2=S)CSn(μ-S)} 3. Compound 2 has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, 119Sn Mössbauer studies, X-ray crystallography, and theoretical studies. 119Sn NMR spectroscopy and Mössbauer studies show the presence of Sn IV and Sn II atoms in 2. X-ray crystallography suggests that the Sn IIS moiety does not have multiple bond character. Theoretical studies illustrate that the C methanediide-Sn bonds comprise a lone pair orbital on each C methanediide atom and an C-Sn occupied σ orbital.
