D. Dakternieks et al., SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF THE 1ST ALKYL-BRIDGED DOUBLE LADDER - )[R(CL)SN(CH2)3SN(CL)R]O)4 (R = ME3SICH2), Organometallics, 13(10), 1994, pp. 4121-4123
Reaction of ((t)Bu2SnO)3 with R(Cl2)Sn(CH2)3-Sn(Cl2)R (R = Me3SiCH2) g
ives an alkyl-bridged double ladder {[R(Cl)Sn(CH2)3Sn(Cl)R]O}4 which h
as been characterized in the solid state by X-ray crystallography and
in solution by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The compound consists of
two ladder-type layers which are bridged by four propyl chains. The s
tructure observed in the solid state is retained in solution.
