Structures of the Pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl Radical, (Pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)tin(IV) Trichloride, and Bromo(chloro)bis(tetrahydrofuran)tin(II):  Products of the Reaction of C5Ph5X with SnX2 (X = Cl, Br)

Abstract: The reaction of SnCl2 with C5Ph5Cl produces C5Ph5SnCl3 (1) in an oxidative-addition reaction, while the pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl radical, C5Ph5 •, (2) is obtained in the reactions of C5Ph5Br with SnCl2 or SnBr2 in diethyl ether/tetrahydrofuran (THF). In the reaction of SnCl2 with C5Ph5Br, one of the tin halide products was shown to be SnBrCl(THF)2 (3). The molecular structures of compounds 1−3 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Tin compound 1 is σ-bonded to the cyclopentadienyl ring; the radical 2 fe… Show more

“…The OϪSnϪO angles range from 81.4(1)°for O(1)ϪSnϪO(1) to 86.2(1)°for O(1)ϪSnϪO (2) and are in agreement with a p 3 bonding situation on the tin center with the lone pair formally occupying an s orbital. The (C 4 H 3 S) 3 [29], but is shorter than those in SnBrCl(thf) 2 by 0.17Ϫ0.23 Å [30].…”

“…A persistent problem encountered when handling solutions of the lithium salts was the gradual appearance of a dark blue or violet contaminant which we attribute to the formation of the penta-arylated cyclopentadienyl radicals, CpAr 5 ؒ . 14 We found these radicals to rapidly react with THF to generate the starting cyclopentadienes. Thus, it was important to handle the lithium salts either in the absence of THF or for very short periods when necessary.…”

“…The same molecular structure as (I) is observed in RSnX 3 compounds with more complex organic groups, such as Ph 5 Cp or Me 5 Cp, which have been synthesized as the chloride (Janiak et al, 1997) and iodide (Bartlett et al, 1992), respectively. Even with heteroatom-substituted organic groups, this situation does not change, as long as the heteroatom does not belong to a polar group.…”
