Trapping Molecular SnBr 2 (OH) 2 by Tin Alkoxide Coordination: Syntheses and Molecular Structures of [MeN(CH 2 CMe 2 O) 2 SnBr 2 ] 2 ·SnBr 2 (OH) 2 and RN(CH 2 CMe 2 O) 2 SnL [R = Me, n ‐Octyl; L = Lone Pair, Cr(CO) 5 , W(CO) 5 , Fe(CO) 4 , Br 2 ]

The synthesis of the intramolecularly coordinated stannylenes and their transition-metal complexes of the type RN(CH2CMe2O)2SnL [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(CH2CMe2O)2SnBr2 (9: R = Me), [MeN(CH2CMe2O)2SnBr2]2·SnBr2(OH)2 (10) and spiro-[RN(CH2CMe2O)2]2Sn (3: R = Me; 4: R = n-octyl) is reported. The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, 1H, 13C, 119Sn, and 119Sn magic-angle spinning (5, 6) NMR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
