Darstellung und struktur von (EtO)2P(O)CH2Si(Me)2CH2SnMe2Cl—ein sechsringchelat mit sesselkonformation und PO ⋯ Sn(Cl)Me2CH2-trigonaler bipyramide am Lewis-aciden Zinn

Abstract The title compound (EtO)2P(O)CH2Si(Me)2CH2SnMe2Cl (2) has been synthesized by reaction of the new functional Grignard reagent (EtO)2P(O)CH2CH2SiMe2CH2MgCl with Me3SnCl and subsequent treatment with Me2SnCl2. 2 crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group P212121. The structure was refined to a final R-value of 0.0476. The tin atom is pentacoordinated and exhibits a nearly ideal trigonal-bipyramidal coordination (SnCl 2.518(3), Sn ⋯ O 2.371(5) A). This coordination results from a 6-membered chelate involving a chair conformation. The structure of 2 is compared with analogous compounds containing a PO ⋯ Sn- or CO ⋯ Sn-coordination in the first place and a noncy…
