Dimethylaminotrimethyltin, Me2N±SnMe3 [22±
24] was prepared according to the literature proce-
dure. Trimethyltin chloride was obtained by the reac-
tion of tetramethyltin with tin tetrachloride 3:1 ratio;
slow mixing without a solvent, heating to 1308C for
2 h; recrystallised from hexane). The 15N-labelled
starting material [15N]ammonium chloride [13.6%
enriched) was a commercial product Chemotrade±
Leipzig), used without further puri®cation.

908 pulses for H, 117/119Sn, 29Si and 15N were cali-
brated for each spectrometer, using the actual samples
1 and 2 which were sealed in 5 mm tubes in order to
prevent any changes in the composition. The 908 pulse
for 115Sn was assumed to be same as that for 117Sn on
each spectrometer. Digital resolution of the FIDs were
in general 0.05 Hz or better. All spectra were
processed with a minimum of line broadening
0.01 Hz) or without any line broadening. The condi-
tions for measuring the NMR spectra were adjusted to
correspond close to those reported for ultra-high reso-
lution NMR [25±30].
