Abstract Diplumbanes Pb 2 R 3 R′ 3 (R,R′ = Ph, o -Tol, p -Tol) have been synthesized from R 3 PbLi and R′ 3 PbCl at −60°C in THF. Mass, 13 C and 207 Pb NMR spectra of the products exhibit migrations of R, R′ in the transition state (R 3 PbLi + ClPbR′ 3 ) leading to a complex distribution of the substituents (δ( 207 Pb) with respect to PbMe 4 −70 to −95 ppm). The PbPb stretching vibration (100 to 115 cm −1 ) couples with a lattice vibration giving rise to a single intensive Raman line. The crystal structure of Pb 2 Ph 3 ( p -Tol) 3 has been determined and refined to R = 0.155. Two independent molecules are disordered and have identical distribution of the substituents Ph( p -Tol) 2 PbPbPh 2 ( p -Tol) (distances PbPb 283(2) and 286(1) pm). Products Pb 2 Ph 3 (OAc) 3 with a PbPb bond, already discussed in the literature, could not be verified.
