Formation of a unique ‘unsupported’ hydridic stannate(ii)†
Abstract
The reaction of the amido-stannate LiSn(NMe2)3 with the phosphine–borane tBu2PHBH3 gives the SnII hydride [(Me2NH)2Li{BH3P(tBu)2}2Sn(H)]; the first example of a hydridic stannate(II) that is not supported by transition metal or ligand bonding.
