Inorganic-organic hybrids of the p,p'-diphenylmethylenediphosphinate, pcp2-. Synthesis, characterization, and XRPD structures of [Sn(pcp)] and [Cu(pcp)].

Two new inorganic-organic polymeric hybrids [Sn(pcp)] and [Cu(pcp)], pcp=CH2(PhPO2)2(2-), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The tin derivative has been obtained by reaction of the p,p'-diphenylmethylenediphosphinic acid (H2pcp) in water with SnCl2.2H2O, while the copper derivative has been synthesized through a hydrothermal reaction from the same H2pcp acid and Cu(O2CMe)2.

The utility of hypercoordination and secondary bonding for the synthesis of a binary organoelement oxo cluster.

A strategy for the preparation of the otherwise difficult to obtain binary organometallic oxides containing two heavy main group elements is described and exemplified by the synthesis of [(p-MeOC6H4)2Te(OSnt-Bu2OH)2]2.

Solvent-controlled assembling by hydrogen bridges and halogen-halogen interactions of novel organotin oxo clusters.

The crystal structure of the novel methylene-bridged tetraorganodistannoxane ([Ph(HO)SnCH2Sn(I)Ph]O)4 (1) depends on the solvent it is crystallised from and is controlled by hydrogen bridges and interhalogen interactions.

Molecular Dynamics within Diorganotin Systems: Solution and Solid State Studies of New Mixed Distannoxane Dimers [(t)Bu(2)(Cl)SnOSn(Cl)R(2)](2).

Di-tert-butyltin oxide, ((t)Bu(2)SnO)(3), reacts with R(2)SnCl(2) to give mixed distannoxanes [(t)Bu(2)(Cl)SnOSn(Cl)R(2)](2) (1, R = Me; 2, R = Et; 3, R = (i)Pr; 4, (n)Bu) whereas di-tert-butyltin hydroxide chloride, [(t)Bu(2)Sn(OH)Cl](2), reacts with [(n)Bu(2)SnO](n) to give the chlorohydroxydistannoxane [(t)Bu(2)(OH)SnOSn(Cl)(n)Bu(2)](2), 5; the dimeric nature of these tetraorganodistannoxanes was confirmed by crystal structure determinations of 1 and 4. Although stable in the solid state, compounds 1-4 rearrange to give a number of distannoxanes in solution. Addition of R(2)SnCl(2) (R = Me, (i)Pr, (n)Bu) to solutions of 1, 3, and 4, respectively, causes displacement of (t)Bu(2)SnCl(2) with concomitant formation of [((t)Bu(2)SnCl(2))(R(2)SnO)(2)(R(2)SnCl(2))] and [(R(2)SnCl(2))(R(2)SnO)(2)(R(2)SnCl(2))].
