Abstract

Nucleophilic substitution of Sn(C5H5)2 with LiN=C(NMe2)2 led to the monosubstitution of only one C5H5 ligand yielding dimeric [{Sn(η3-C5H5)[μ-N=C(NMe 2)2]}2] in which the remaining C5H5 group can be further substituted by reactions with lithiated 1,3-dithianes to give the dimeric mixed-ligand imino-1,3-dithiane complexes [{Sn[S(CH2)3SC(R)][μ-N=C(NMe2) 2]}2] (R = H or SiMe3).
