Abstract

The ate complexes [M{C(SiMe3)3}(μ-SBu)2Li-(THF)2], M = Gear Sn, have been made from M(SBu)2 and LiC(SiMe3)3 in tetrahydrofuran and their crystal structures determined. The LiS2M rings are folded at the S⋯S axis, the ring in the tin compound more so than that in the germanium derivative. The latter has a conformation very like the ring in [(Me3Si)3CAl(SMe)-(μ-SMe)2Li(THF)2 ]. NMR measurements show that the LiS2M rings are preserved in toluene solution, but the Li-S bonds in the tin compound are transiently broken in THF.
