Abstract

Straightening out tin: The reaction of the dinitrogen complex 1 with the aryl tin(II) chloride 2 affords selectively the stannylyne complex 3. The molecular structure of 3 shows a very short WSn bond of 2.4902(8) Å and a linear coordinated tin atom (W-Sn-C=178.2(1)°). R=C6H3-2,6-Mes2, Mes=C6H2-2,4,6-Me3.
