The synthesis of N→M intramolecularly coordinated
group
14 and 15 chalcogenites is reported. The N→Sn intramolecularly
coordinated organotin(IV) carbonate L(Ph)SnCO3 (1), where L is the N,C,N-chelating ligand 2,6-(Me2NCH2)2C6H3
–, reacts with SO2 and SeO2 to provide the organotin(IV)
sulfite L(Ph)SnSO3 (4) and selenite [L(Ph)SnSeO3]2 (5), respectively. Treatment of
[LSbO]2 (2) and [LBiO]2 (3) with SeO2 provided the organoantimony and bismuth
selenites LSbSeO3 (6) and [LBiSeO3]3 (7), respectively. Compounds 5–7 are rare examples of mixed element oxides
with well-defined stoichiometry MSeO3 (M = Sn, Sb, Bi).
Compounds 4–7 were characterized
by means of elemental analyses, 1H, 13C, 77Se, and 119Sn NMR spectroscopies, IR spectroscopy,
and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
