Structural diversity of Sn(II) phosphine oxide complexes with weakly coordinating anions and comparisons with related Ge(II) and Pb(II) species
Structural diversity of Sn(II) phosphine oxide complexes with weakly coordinating anions and comparisons with related Ge(II) and Pb(II) species
A series of tin(II) triflate phosphine oxide complexes has been prepared from the reaction of Sn(OTf)2 (OTf− = [O3SCF3]−) with various ratios of OPPh3, OPMe3 or dppmO2 (dppmO2 = Ph2(O)PCH2P(O)Ph2). The complexes [Sn(OPPh3)n][OTf]2 (n = 2, 3 or 4), [Sn(OPMe3)n][OTf]2 (n = 2 or 3) and [Sn(dppmO2)n][OTf]2 (n = 1 or 2) have been isolated in moderate to good yields. Selected germanium(II) and lead(II) analogues have been made for comparison, namely [Ge(OPPh3)n][OTf]2 (n = 2 or 3) and [Pb(OPR3)4][OTf]2 (R = Me, Ph). The effect of changing the weakly coordinating OTf− anion for the non-coordinating [BArF]− anion was investigated through anion metathesis, furnishing the complexes [Sn(OPPh3)n][BArF]2 (n = 3 or 4) and [Ge(OPPh3)3][BArF]2. The isolated solids were characterised by 1H, 19F{1H}, 31P{1H} and IR spectroscopy and microanalysis. Crystal structures were obtained for all complexes except [Ge(OPPh3)2][OTf]2 and [Sn(OPPh3)3][BArF]2, allowing comparisons of the structural features of these divalent group 14 complexes down the group and as a function of coordination number, ligand sterics and electronics.

Abstract
A series of tin(II) triflate phosphine oxide complexes has been prepared from the reaction of Sn(OTf)2 (OTf− = [O3SCF3]−) with various ratios of OPPh3, OPMe3 or dppmO2 (dppmO2 = Ph2(O)PCH2P(O)Ph2). The complexes [Sn(OPPh3)n][OTf]2 (n = 2, 3 or 4), [Sn(OPMe3)n][OTf]2 (n = 2 or 3) and [Sn(dppmO2)n][OTf]2 (n = 1 or 2) have been isolated in moderate to good yields. Selected germanium(II) and lead(II) analogues have been made for comparison, namely [Ge(OPPh3)n][OTf]2 (n = 2 or 3) and [Pb(OPR3)4][OTf]2 (R = Me, Ph). The effect of changing the weakly coordinating OTf− anion for the non-coordinating [BArF]− anion was investigated through anion metathesis, furnishing the complexes [Sn(OPPh3)n][BArF]2 (n = 3 or 4) and [Ge(OPPh3)3][BArF]2. The isolated solids were characterised by 1H, 19F{1H}, 31P{1H} and IR spectroscopy and microanalysis. Crystal structures were obtained for all complexes except [Ge(OPPh3)2][OTf]2 and [Sn(OPPh3)3][BArF]2, allowing comparisons of the structural features of these divalent group 14 complexes down the group and as a function of coordination number, ligand sterics and electronics.
