Abstract
The terphenyl substituted distannynes and diplumbynes ArEEAr (E = Sn, Pb; Ar = AriPr4, C6H3-2,6-(C6H3-2,6-iPr2)2; Ar = AriPr6, C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-iPr3)2) undergo metathesis and ligand redistribution reactions in solution at ambient temperature to yield mixtures of asymmetrically substituted and heterometallic heavy alkyne analogues. The ambient temperature solution EPR spectrum of AriPr6SnSnAriPr6 shows a weak signal corresponding to the (SnAriPr6)· radical, and the thermolysis of AriPr8PbPbAriPr8 (AriPr8 = C6H-3,5-iPr2-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-iPr3)2) in toluene yields the plumbylene Pb(CH2C6H5)AriPr8, also suggesting that a transient Pb(AriPr8)· radical is liberated on heating. These results provide further evidence to the solution equilibria of the heavy group 14 analogues with the respective one-coordinate metal radicals.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
