Monomeric, volatile bivalent amides of group IVB elements, M(NR12)2 and M(NR1R2)2(MGe, Sn, or Pb; R1Me3Si, R2Me3C)
Abstract
The reactions of SnCl2, PbCl2, or GeCl2, dioxan with LiNR12, OEt2 or LiNR1R2, OEt2 in Et2O at 0° yield the stable, monomeric, diamagnetic, coloured, volatile, hydrocarbon-soluble title compounds which are highly reactive.
