The tin(ii) coordination chemistry of two monoanionic N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)alkylamidinate ligands is described. Complexation studies with the acetamidinate, [MeC(NAr)(2)](-), (Ar = 2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3)) are complicated by the side formation of the bis(amidinate) tin(ii) compound, [MeC(NAr)(2)](2)Sn. By contrast, the bulkier tert-butylamidinate, [(t)BuC(NAr)(2)](-), allows tin(ii) mono-halide, -alkoxide and -amide complexes to be isolated cleanly in high yields. Thus, the reaction of [(t)BuC(NAr)(2)]H with (n)BuLi and subsequent treatment with SnCl(2) generates [(t)BuC(NAr)(2)]SnCl, in ca. 70% yield. Reactions of with LiO(i)Pr, LiNMe(2) and LiNTMS(2) afford [(t)BuC(NAr)(2)]Sn(O(i)Pr), [(t)BuC(NAr)(2)]Sn(NMe(2)), and [(t)BuC(NAr)(2)]Sn(NTMS(2)), respectively. The molecular structures of complexes are reported. Complexes, and have been investigated as initiators for the ring-opening polymerisation of rac-lactide: and display characteristics of well-controlled polymerisation initiators, but high molecular weight polymer is observed with due to inefficient initiation, a consequence of the steric bulk of the NTMS(2) unit. Polymerisations with and are faster than for the corresponding beta-diketiminate tin(ii) complexes, consistent with the more open nature of the tin(ii) coordination sphere.

The pentafluorophenyl moiety CF was succesfully employed for the first time in lead(II) chemistry. We are reporting on the stable and soluble organolead(II) polymer [Pb(CF)(dx)] (dx = dioxane). An example of a Pb(II) "ate" complex paired with a trimetallic magnesium cation is also presented.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of N-coordinated tin(ii) cations as catalysts for ring-opening polymerization (ROP) to produce well-defined linear poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(δ-valerolactone) (PVL).
- These catalysts also enable the synthesis of star-shaped polymers with varying functionalities, which were analyzed for their structural properties using SEC-MALS-Visco.
- To enhance hydrophobicity, new stannaboroxines were tested, showing potential improvements in the water resistance of the resulting polymers.

We report the syntheses of tin(II) salts of the types [LSnX]SnX [L=2,6-{(i-PrO)(O)P}CHN: 1, X=Cl; 2, X=Br], [LSnCl]SnCl [L=2-{(i-PrO)Ph(O)P}-6-{(i-PrO)(O)P}CHN: 3], [LSnX]SnX [L=2,6-{MeO(O)C}CHN: 4, X=Cl; 5, X=Br], [LSnX]SnX [L=2,6-{EtN(O)C}CHN: 6, X=Cl; 7, X=Br]. These compounds were obtained by addition of SnX to the corresponding ligand inducing autoionization of the respective tin(II) halide. The thermal stability of 1, 3, and 4 was elucidated, giving, under ester cleavage and cyclisation, the tin(II) derivatives 8-12.

A series of iso-carbamate complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of [Sn(OPr)] or [Sn(OBu)] with either aryl or alkyl isocyanates, ONC-R (R = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl (Mes), 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dipp), isopropyl (Pr), cyclohexyl (Cy) and -butyl (Bu)). In the case of aryl isocyanates, mono-insertion occurs to form structurally characterized complexes [Sn{κ--R-NC(OPr)O}(μ-OPr)] (: R = Mes, : R = Dipp) and [Sn{κ--R-NC(OBu)O}(μ-OBu)] (: R = Mes, : R = Dipp). The complicated solution-state chemistry of these species has been explored using H DOSY experiments.

Meso-octaalkylcalix[4]pyrrolates are a class of redox-active porphyrinogen ligands. They have been well established in d- and f-block chemistry for over three decades but have only recently been introduced as ligands for p-block elements. Here, we present a study on the influence of meso-substituents on the redox chemistry of calix[4]pyrrolato stannate(II) dianions [2] (R=Me, Et).
