摘要:
Reaction of bis(organostannyl)alkanes (RSnCl2)2CH2 (1, R = Ph; 2, R = CH2SiMe3) and (MeCl2Sn)2CMe2, respectively, with sulfide, selenide, and telluride sources, respectively. i.e. Na2X or ((t)Bu2SnX)2 (X = S, Se, Te) results in the formation of 1,3,5,7-tetraorgano-2,4,6,8-tetrachalcogena-1,3,4,5-tetrastannaadamantanes [(RSnX)2CR'2]2 (3, R = Ph, R' = H, X = S; 4, R = CH2SiMe3, R'= H, X = S; 5, R = Ph, X = Se; 6, R = Ph, R'= H, X = Te; 13, R = R' = Me, X = Se). Cross experiments between 3 and 4 or 3 and 5 gives rise to the formation of all possible isomers and reveal the lability of the tin-chalcogen bonds. Crystal structure determinations of 3 and 13 confirm the adamantane-like structures inferred from the NMR data. Crystal data for 3: space group P2(1/c), a = 10.881(1) angstrom, b = 20.561(3) angstrom, c = 14.931(3) angstrom, beta = 112.55(1)degrees, 5829 reflections, R(w) = 0.027. Crystal data for 13: space group Pbcn, a = 14.618(3) angstrom, b = 10.455(2) angstrom, c = 14.974(3) angstrom, 3098 reflections, R(w) = 0.050.
