Palladium and Molybdenum Complexes of the Heteroleptic Organostannylene [2,6-(Me2NCH2)2C6H3]SnCl

The synthesis and molecular structures are reported for the transition metal heteroleptic organostannylene complexes {[2,6-(Me 2 NCH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 ]SnCl}(C 5 H 5 )(CO) 2 MoCl ( 6 ) and {[2,6-(Me 2 NCH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 ]Sn(OAc)}Pd(Cl)[2-(Me 2 NCH 2 )C 6 H 4 ] ( 7 ). It is shown that the intramolecularly coordinated heteroleptic organostannylene [2,6-(Me 2 NCH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 ]SnCl undergoes a redox-type reaction with Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 to give cis -[2,6-(Me 2 NCH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 ]SnCl} 2 PdCl 2 .
