The title compounds have been synthesized by Li and Grignard reactions
. The crystal structure of Ph3Si-p-Tol has been determined. The substi
tution of only one phenyl by one p-tolyl group causes only a slight de
viation from the ideal S4 symmetry of Ph4Si. Gradual replacement of ph
enyl by p-tolyl groups leads to increasing low field shifts for all C-
13(ipso) atoms. The substitution of the first phenyl group by p-tolyl
in Ph4Si and Ph4Sn results in a high field shift both for delta(Si-29)
(- 0.3 ppm) and for delta(Sn-119) (-1 ppm). Further replacement shows
nearly linear dependencies (DELTAdelta(Si-29)= -0.1 ppm, DELTAdelta(S
n-119)= +1.5 ppm per p-tolyl group).
