Complexes of Ge(IV)- and Sn(IV)-fluorides with cyclic and acyclic carbenes: bis(dialkylamino)-difluoromethylenes as carbene sources

Inorg Chem. 2012 Jan 16;51(2):763-5. doi: 10.1021/ic202008m. Epub 2012 Jan 3.

Abstract

Carbene complexes of Ge(IV)- and Sn(IV)-fluorides have been synthesized by oxidative addition of 2,2-difluoro-1,3-dimethylimidazolidine and bis(dimethylamino)difluoromethane to GeCl(2)•dioxane and SnF(2). Chloride analogs of the Ge(IV) complexes were also isolated. All compounds were characterized in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
