P. Boudjouk et al., 2,2,4,4,6,6-Hexabenzylcyclotristannatellurane (Bn2SnTe)(3). Synthesis and structural characterization of an organometallic single-source precursor tophase-pure, polycrystalline SnTe, ORGANOMETAL, 18(22), 1999, pp. 4534-4537
The title compound, (Bn2SnTe)(3) Bn = CH2CsH5, was prepared in high yield b
y treating Bn2SnCl2 with (NH4)(2)Te. Details of the synthesis and character
ization (H-1, C-13, Sn-119, and Te-125 NMR; IR, single-crystal XRD, and ele
mental analyses) are presented. (Bn2SnTe)(3) serves as an efficient single-
source precursor to phase-pure cubic SnTe under mild conditions.
