Abstract

A series of tin(IV) compounds containing ferrocenyl chalcogenate (FcE) and ferrocenylene dichalcogenate (fcE2) ligands (E = S, Se, Te) has been synthesized for a systematic study of the NMR spectra with particular emphasis on 13C, 119Sn, 77Se and 125Te NMR. All compounds are formally derived from tetramethylstannane, SnMe4, by stepwise replacement of methyl by either FcE or fcE2 ligands. Starting from lithioferrocene the products are tetrasubstituted stannanes Me4-nSn(EFc)n (n = 1 and 2, E = S, Se, Te; n = 3 and 4, E = S, Se). Starting from 1,1′dilithioferrocene, the products are 1,1′-disubstituted ferrocenes such as fc(E-SnMe3)2 (E = S, Se, Te), although 1,3-dichalcogena[3]ferrocenophane rings are formed whenever possible to give [3]ferrocenophanes fcE2SnMe2 (E = S, Se, Te) and fc[E-Sn(Me)E2fc]2 (E = S, Se) or tin spiro compounds Sn(E2fc)2 (E = S, Se, Te). Whereas all (8) possible sulfur-containing and all (8) selenium-containing products were accessible, some of the tellurium-rich compounds could not be isolated due to preferred formation of either Fc2Te2 or fcTe3. All compounds were characterized on the basis of their 1H, 13C, 119Sn and, if possible, 77Se and 125Te solution NMR spectra. In many cases, coupling constants such as 2J(119Sn1H), nJ(119Sn13C) (n = 1,2,3), 1J(119Sn77Se) and 1J(125Τe119Sn), 1J(77Se13C) and 1J(125Te13C) could be determined. The δ119Sn chemical shifts of analogous phenyl and ferrocenyl compounds, Me4-nSn(EPh) and Me4-nSn(EFc)n (n = 0-4, E = S, Se, Te), are discussed, and for a microcrystalline sample of tetrakis(ferrocenylselenolato)stannane, Sn(SeFc)4, the 119Sn and 77Se CP/MAS NMR spectra are reported and compared with the solution spectra.
