Xx. Wang et al., Surface organometallic chemistry of tin: Grafting reaction of Sn(CH3)(4) in HY zeolite supercage, CHEM LETT, (10), 2000, pp. 1164-1165
Tetramethyltin reacts rapidly, even at low temperature, with the hydroxy gr
oups in the supercages of HY zeolite, resulting in the formation of well-de
fined -Sn(CH3)(3) fragments in the supercages. This reaction is very select
ive as there is no reaction with the hydroxy groups in the sodalite cages a
nd prisms.
