Tin-chalcogen double-bond compounds, stannanethione and stannaneselone: Synthesis, structure, and reactivities

摘要

The first isolation of diarylstannanethione (tin-sulfur double-bond compound) and diarylstannaneselone (tin-selenium double-bond compound), Tbt(Ditp)Sn=X (Tbt = 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl; Ditp = 2,2"-diisopropyl-m-terphenyl-2'-yl; X = S and Se) was accomplished by dechalcogenation of the corresponding highly hindered tetrachalcogenastannolanes, Tbt(Ditp)SnX4. The Sn-119 NMR of stannanethione, Tbt(Ditp)Sn=S, and stannaneselone, Tbt(Ditp)Sn=Se, showed only one low-field broad signal at 531 and 440 ppm, respectively, characteristic of a tricoordinated tin, and hence, the stannanethione and stannaneselone display an intrinsic nature of tin-chalcogen double-bond compounds. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of the isolated stannaneselone, Tbt(Ditp)Sn=Se 5a, revealed a completely trigonal geometry around the central tin with a remarkably short Sn-Se bond length, indicative of structural similarity to a ketone.
