Abstract The reaction of Ph 3 PbLi with Ph 3 SnCl or Ph 3 GeCl gives Ph 3 PbSnPh 3 and Ph 2 PbGePh 3 , respectively; there is no reaction with Ph 3 SiCl. Ph 3 SiLi reacts with Ph 3 PbCl to form a regular 1 : 1 Pb 2 Ph 6 · Si 2 Ph 6 phase. The compounds have been investigated by mass, NMR and vibrational spectra: 207 Pb NMR chemical shifts with respect to PbMe 2 −79.8 (Pb 2 Ph 6 ), −256.5 (Ph 3 PbSnPh 3 ), −271.5 ppm (Ph 3 PbGePh 3 ); stretching vibrations 112 (PbPb), 125 (PbSn), 138 cm −1 (PbGe). The crystal structures have been determined and refined to R = 0.061 (Ph 3 PbSnPh 3 , −40°C), 0.053 (Ph 3 PbGePh 3 , −50°C), 0.068 (Pb 2 Ph 6 · Si 2 Ph 6 , 20°C); bond lengths 285 (PbPb),…
