Abstract

Two new complexes of [Sn{2-[(CH3)2NCH2]C6H4}2] with [Mo(η5-C5H5)(CO)3Cl] and [W(η5-C5H5)(CO)3Cl], respectively, were prepared via insertion of stannylene into the Mo-Cl or W-Cl bond forming thus the transition metal-tin bond. These complexes were studied by IR, NMR and X-ray diffraction techniques. The tin atom in these complexes is five-coordinated with the carbon atoms of ligands and transition metal in equatorial plane and the chlorine and the nitrogen donor atoms in axial positions. The attempts to photolyse, reduce or fluorinate the prepared complexes and characterize the products of these reactions failed.
