Experimental SectionThe preparation of the carbon,@ silicon,lO and germanium'l irnidazolidines, the spiro silicon and germanium imidazolidines,'* and bis(diethylamino)dialkylgermanesg~ll has been reported previously. Preparation of the bis(diethy1amino)dialkylsilanes and stannanes followed procedures reported by Henglein and LienhardI and Jones and Lappert,13 respectively.The infrared spectra of the compounds as liquid smears were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer infracord in the 4000-650-cm-l range. All spectra were calibrated with polystyrene. ( 7 ) H. P. Fritz and H. Keller, Chent. Der, , 95, 158 (1962). (8) H. D. Kaesz, S. Winstein, and C. G. Kreiter, J . A m . Chem.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
