The crystal and molecular structure of tris[(triphenylstannyl)methyl]methane
Journal of Organometallic Chemistry(1983)
摘要
The title compound, C58H52Sn3, belongs to the triclinic space group P1, with a 10.165, b 13.365, c 18.670 Å, α 96.28, β 93.88, γ 103.15°, V = 2443.8 Å3, fw = 1105.1, Z = 2, Dcalc 1.501 g cm−3, m.p. 206.5–208°C, λ(Mo-Kα) 0.71069 Å. The structure was refined on 2684 nonzero reflections to an R factor of 0.044. The crystal contains molecules in which the (SnCH2)3CH core possesses an approximate C3 symmetry. The three SnC(H2) bonds are gauche to the C(4)-H bond. Repulsive interactions involving the bulky Ph3Sn substituents lead to large SnC(H2)C(H) angles (av. 117.3°), whereas the C(H2)C(H)C(H2) angles at the tertiary carbon average 111.3°. Little distortion of the Ph3Sn groups themselves is present, since the PhSnPh angles (av. 109.8°) are almost equal to the C(H2)SnPh angles (av. 109.9°). The molecule as a whole has no symmetry because the aromatic rings in the three Ph3Sn groups have different orientations. The phenyl groups create a pocket in the middle of the molecule which encloses and shields the tertiary hydrogen atom. The resulting inaccessibility of this hydrogen accounts in part for the low reactivity of the title compound in redox reactions.
