Abstract

Compounds in the series R3SiN[(CH2) nX]2 (R = (CH3)2H, (CH 3)2Cl, and CH3ClH), R2Si[N((CH 2)nX)2]2 (R = (CH3) 2, C6H5H, and C6H5Cl), R3GeN(CH2X)2 (R = (CH3) 2Cl and (C6H5)2Cl), and Cl 2Sn[N-((CH2)3X)2]2, for X = N(CH3)2, n = 3; and OCH3, n = 2, have been prepared and characterized by 1H, 13C and 29Si NMR spectroscopy, and by elemental analyses. For all the compounds studied, the terminal N(CH3)2 and OCH3 groups appear not to coordinate to the central atom. The product C6H 5Si{N[(CH2)2OCH3]2} 2B[3,5-(CF3)2C6H3]4, obtained from a reaction between C 6H5HSi{N[(CH2)2OCH3] 2}2 and (C6H5)3CB[3,5- (CF3)2C6H3]4, should contain a silylium ion, but because of the suspected presence of a small quantity of silyl radical, has thus far eluded definitive characterization.
