The synthesis and structure of {[η4-Me8taa]Sn(µ-O)}2: a bridging oxo complex in a system that yields terminal sulfido and selenido counterparts
Abstract
Oxo transfer from N2O to divalent [η4-Me8taa]Sn (Me8taaH2 = octamethyldibenzotetraaza[14]annulene) yields the oxo complex, {[η4-Me8taa]Sn(µ-O)}2; the bridging nature of the oxo ligand provides a marked contrast with the terminal sulfido and selenido counterparts, [η4-Me8taa]SnE (E = S, Se).
