The synthesis of the intramolecularly coordinated stannylenes and their transition-metal complexes of the type RN(CH 2 CMe 2 O) 2 SnL [1: L = lone pair, R = Me; 2: L = lone pair, R = n-octyl; 5: L =W(CO) 5 , R = Me; 6: L = Cr(CO) 5 , R = Me; 7: L =W(CO) 5 , R = n-octyl; 8: L = Fe(CO) 4 , R = Me], and of the tin(IV) compounds RN(CH 2 CMe 2 O) 2 SnBr 2 (9: R = Me), [a] 3463 [MeN(CH 2 CMe 2 O) 2 SnBr 2 ] 2 ·SnBr 2 (OH) 2 (10) and spiro-[RN(CH 2 CMe 2 O) 2 ] 2 Sn (3: R = Me; 4: R = n-octyl) is reported. The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, 1 H, 13 C, 119 Sn, and 119 Sn magic-angle spinning (5, 6) NMR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry, and singlecrystal X-ray diffraction analysis. exhibit superior crystallization properties. They also enabled the isolation of an unprecedented trinuclear Sn-O cluster. www.eurjic.org 3469 119 Sn MAS Spectroscopy: The 119 Sn MAS NMR spectra were recorded with a Bruker Avance III 400 spectrometer using cross polarization and high-power proton decoupling [conditions: 3.7 μS (90°) pulse, 2 ms contact time, 10 s recycle delay].
