Abstract

By treating KSii Pr3 with Sn[N(SiMe3 )2 ]2 the distannene Sn2 (TIPS)4 (TIPS=Sii Pr3 ) is formed in a metathesis reaction. The crystal structure analysis of Sn2 (TIPS)4 reveals a planar arrangement of the substituents in the solid-state and hence the second planar alkene like distannene of its kind. Due to the TIPS substituents, Sn2 (TIPS)4 is well soluble in all commonly used organic solvents, opening the door for various analytics and reactivity studies. Due to its stability in solution, various reactions can be performed such as cycloaddition reactions with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (DMBD) and TMS-azide.
