Da. Atwood et al., OXIDATIVE ADDITION-REACTIONS AND REVERSE YLIDE FORMATION INVOLVING MACROCYCLIC (TMTAA, C22H22N4) COMPLEXES OF GERMANIUM(II) AND TIN(II), Polyhedron, 12(16), 1993, pp. 2073-2074
The germanium(II) and tin(II) macrocyclic complexes Ge(tmtaa) (1) and
Sn(tmtaa) (2) (tmtaa = dibenzotetramethyltetraaza[14]annulene) undergo
facile oxidative addition reactions and reverse ylide formation with
MeI and C6Fe5I, respectively.
