Surface organometallic chemistry of tin: Grafting reaction of Sn(CH3)(4) in HY zeolite supercage
Tetramethyltin reacts rapidly, even at low temperature, with the hydroxy groups in the supercages of HY zeolite, resulting in the formation of well-defined -Sn(CH3)(3) fragments in the supercages. This reaction is very selective as there is no reaction with the hydroxy groups in the sodalite cages and prisms.
