Abstract

Equatorial-axial isomerism of the tin(II)-iron(0) complex (Me2NCH2CH2O)2Sn-Fe(CO)4 (), which indicates that the free Sn(OCH2CH2NMe2)2 () ligand can behave as a stannylene, has been revealed and studied by NMR and IR spectroscopy in solution as well as by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis in the solid-state.
