Abstract

A family of tin(IV) bis(hexamethylsilylamide) complexes 2–9 have been synthesized by reaction of [Sn{N(SiMe₃)₂}₂] (1) with the diphenyl dichalcogenanes Ph₂E₂ (E = S, Se, Te), the radical species TEMPO, or the group 16 elements to form the complexes [(PhE)₂Sn{N(SiMe₃)₂}₂] (2–4) and [(TEMPO)₂Sn{N(SiMe₃)₂}₂] (5), and [{(Me₃Si)₂N}₂Sn(µ²-E)]₂ (6–9) (E = S, 2 & 6; E = Se 3 & 7; E = Te, 4 & 9, E = O₂, 9). The isolated tin complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and the molecular structures of the complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermogravimetric analysis showed complexes 2–4 and 6–8 all to have residual masses close to those expected for the formation of the corresponding “SnE” systems. Complexes 2–4 and 6–8 were also assessed for their utility in the formation of nanoparticles. The materials obtained were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Analysis showed formation of SnSe and SnTe from complexes 3–4 and 6–7, respectively.
