The first metal substituted stannatrane,Os(Sn-[OCH2CH2](3)N)(eta(2)-S2CNMe2
)(CO)(PPh3)(2), has been synthesised by reaction between triethanolamine an
d the triiodostannyl osmium complex Os(SnI3)(eta(2)-S2CNMe2)-(CO)(PPh3)(2):
the transannular Sn-N distance of 2.422(4) Angstrom indicates a bonding in
teraction which is not seen in the corresponding silatranyl complex Os(Si[O
CH2CH2](3)N)(eta(2)-S2CNMe2)(CO)(PPh3)(2) which has an Si-N distance of 3.1
76(6) Angstrom.
