Complexes of Ge(IV)- and Sn(IV)-Fluorides with Cyclic and Acyclic Carbenes: Bis(dialkylamino)-difluoromethylenes as Carbene Sources
Carbene complexes of Ge(IV)- and Sn(IV)fluorides have been synthesized by oxidative addition of 2,2-difluoro-1,3-dimethylimidazolidine and bis(dimethylamino)difluoromethane to GeCl2 center dot dioxane and SnF2. Chloride analogs of the Ge(IV) complexes were also isolated. All compounds were characterized in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
