Facile synthesis of Sn4N4 cubanes; syntheses and structures of [Sn(NC6H11)]4 and [Sn(2-NCH2C5H4N)]4

Abstract
The low-temperature reaction of Sn(NMe2)2 with primary amines (NH2R)(1 : 1 equivalents) is a general route by which imido tin(II) cubanes [Sn(NR)]4 can be prepared. It has been exemplified by the direct reactions of the relatively non-acidic primary amines NH2(C6H11) and 2-H2NCH2C5H4N, producing the cubanes [Sn(NC6H11)]41 and [Sn(2-NCH2C5H4N)]42. The structures of both complexes have been established by X-ray crystallography.
