Synthesis and Structure of the First Stannadisiloxanediol: [Me2N(CH2)2]2Sn(OSit‐Bu2OH)2. A Potential Precursor for the Preparation of Multi Component Oxides

Abstract

AbstractThe synthesis of [Me2N(CH2)2]2Sn(OSit‐Bu2OH)2 (1) by the base‐assisted cohydrolysis of [Me2N(CH2)2]2SnCl2 and t‐Bu2SiCl2 is described. The molecular structure of 1, determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis, features a pentacoordinated tin atom owing to the intramolecular coordination of the nitrogen atom of one 3‐dimethylaminopropyl group, and reveals both intramolecular Si(Sn)O···H‐O and intermolecular N···H‐O hydrogen bonding. Compound 1 is a rare example of a metallasiloxanol and holds potential for the preparation of multi component oxide materials.
