with PhTeTePh (230 mg, 0.562 mmol) and cooled to –78 °C before
NH (30 mL) was condensed on. To the dark red solution, sodium
metal (34.1 mg, 1.48 mmol) was added, which caused a color change
to orange. After the mixture was stirred for 2 h, Ph SnCl (393 mg,
.12 mmol) was added and a colorless suspension was formed. The
mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature, while the NH

All non-hydrogen atoms were
refined using anisotropic displacement parameters. Hydrogen atoms
attached to carbon atoms were included in geometrically calculated
positions using a riding model. Crystal and refinement data are col-
