metal-organic compounds
As with (I), the phenyl groups in (II) form CÐHÁ Á Áꢀ
interactions with neighbouring molecules within the sheet. In
addition, atom C33 at (x, y, z) donates a hydrogen bond to the
C21±C26 phenyl ring at (2 x, 1 y, 1 z), with a distance of
CHClCH2SC6H3NO2-2-Me-4 (PAGHEK; Howie et al., 1992),
Ph3SnCH(SCN)CH2SC6H4NO2-2 (PAGHIO; Howie et al.,
t
1992), (cyclohexyl)3SnCH2SC6H4 Bu-4 (JERMIC; Cox et al.,
1990), Ph3Ge(CH2)SO2C6H5 (NOJXEP; Wardell & Cox,
1996), Ph3SnC(SMe) CHC6H5 (GODLOA and GODLUG;
Bruhn et al., 1999), Ph3SnC(SCH2Ph)CHCHC(SCH2Ph)SnPh3
(POMXUK; Block et al., 1994) and Ph3SnCH2CH2SC6H4Me-4
(ZUWQIR; Cox et al., 1995).
Of these, the ®rst four (GESYIM, ZIKHOQ, YEZVEE and
YEZVII) have CÐHÁ Á ÁO bonds which can be considered in
relation to (I) and (II). The latter four compounds
(GODLOA, GODLUG, POMXUK and ZUWQIR) display
CÐHÁ Á ÁS interactions, while the rest do not form hydrogen
bonds, as detected by PLATON (Spek, 2002).
Ê
3.361 A between the H atom and the centroid (Fig. 7), which,
as in (I), has the effect of doubling the width of the sheet.
The Sn centre in (I) is four-coordinate; the bond angles, in
the range 106.27 (10)±114.64 (8)ꢁ, indicate a slightly distorted
tetrahedral geometry. The SnÐC bond lengths are in the
expected region and fall in a narrow range, 2.138 (2)±
Ê
2.172 (2) A. The bond lengths in (II) show a greater range,
with those involving the phenyl groups being between
Ê
2.1275 (15) and 2.1371 (15) A, and the SnÐCalkyl length being
Ê
longer than these, at 2.1815 (14) A. The bond angles
subtended at Sn in (II) range from 101.15 (5) to 111.76 (6)ꢁ,
again indicative of a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry.
Ph3GeCH2SO2C6H5 (GESYIM), a Ge analogue to (II),
forms hydrogen bonds via the CH2 group as donor to a sulfone
O atom, thus forming simple C(4) chains along [001]. No rings
are formed. Ph3Sn(CH2)2CH(SC6H4NO2-2)CH2Cl (ZIK-
HOQ), in which the nitro group is ortho to S, again has CH2 as
the donor to one nitro O atom as acceptor, forming R22(16)
dimers. The other H atom of the CH2 group donates to the
other nitro O atom, forming a chain of dimers along [001].
Ph3Sn(CH2)2SO2C6H4Me-4 (YEZVEE) again donates a
hydrogen bond via the CH2 group adjacent to S to a sulfone O
atom; in addition, a phenyl H atom acts as a donor to the same
O atom, forming R23(13) groups which link to give C(8) chains
along [100]. In the related compound Ph3Sn(CH2)4-
SO2C6H4Me-4 (YEZVII), similar hydrogen bonding occurs,
although here via the third CH2 group from S, to give an
R23(16) motif, linking to give C(12) chains along [010]. Both
motifs are enlarged by the extra CH2 groups in the latter
compound.
Ê
The closest SnÁ Á ÁOsulfone separation is SnÁ Á ÁO4 3.5906 (12) A,
Ê
a little within the sum of the van der Waals radii of 3.70 A.
A number of related triphenyl±Sn and ±Ge structures have
been reported, along with one related iododiphenyltin
compound (CSD database, Release 5.23; Allen & Kennard,
1993). These are Ph3GeCH2SO2C6H5 (CSD refcode GESYIM;
Howie & Wardell, 1997), Ph3Sn(CH2)2CH(SC6H4NO2-2)CH2-
Cl (ZIKHOQ; Aupers & Wardell, 1995), Ph3Sn(CH2)2SO2-
C6H4Me-4 [(III), n = 2, YEZVEE; Cox & Wardell, 1994],
Ph3Sn(CH2)4SO2C6H4Me-4 [(III), n = 4, YEZVII; Cox &
Wardell, 1994], Ph3Sn(CH2)3SO2C6H4Me-4 [(III), n = 3,

The products of the reactions of !-sulfanylalkylstannanes,
R3Sn(CH2)nSR0, with oxidants depend greatly on n and on the
oxidant. For example, (II) was obtained by H2O2 oxidation of
(I), whereas the reaction of the related compound
Ph3Sn(CH2)nSC6H4Me-4 [(IV), n = 1] with NaIO4 led to
cleavage of the molecule with formation of Ph3SnCH2I and
4-MeC6H4SO3H (Taylor & Wardell, 1976; see also Peterson,
1971). The use of 3-ClC6H4CO3H with (IV), with n = 1, also
resulted in cleavage (Wardell, unpublished observation). In
contrast, oxidations of (IV) with n = 3 or 4 proceeded readily
to the sulfones (III) with n = 3 or 4, or the corresponding
sulfoxides, depending on the molar ratios of the reagents
(Wardell & Wigzell, 1983). Particularly sensitive to oxidants is
(IV) with n = 2. The reaction of (IV) with n = 2 with either
NaIO4 or 3-ClC6H4CO3H led to loss of ethylene (Wardell &
Wigzell, 1983). Compound (IV) with n = 2 was, however,
obtained by the addition of Ph3SnH to H2C CH-
SO2C6H4Me-4 (Wardell & Wigzell, 1983). The contrast
between the Ge and Sn compounds is clear from the reactions
of Ph3MCH2SR0 (M is Ge or Sn) with 3-ClC6H4CO3H or Br2.
The Br2±R3SnCH2SR0 reactions invariably result in SnÐC
bond cleavage, while the Ge compounds can be oxidized to
Ph3GeCH2SOmR (m = 1 or 2) by either Br2 in MeOH or
3-ClC6H4CO3H (Taylor & Wardell, 1976; Wardell & Cox,
1996).
