The Group XIV tetratolyl series X(C6H4-CH 3)4 (X=C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) were studied by using inelastic neutron scattering to measure the low-energy phonon spectra to directly access the methyl-group torsional modes. The effect of increased molecular radius as a function of the size of the central atom was shown to have direct influence on the methyl dynamics, reinforced with the findings of molecular dynamics and contact surface calculations, based upon the solid-state structures. The torsional modes in the lightest analogue were found to be predominantly intramolecular: the Si and Ge analogues have a high degree of intermolecular methyl-methyl group interactions, whilst the heaviest analogues (Sn and Pb) showed pronounced intermolecular methyl interactions with the whole phonon bath of the lattice modes. Size matters! The size of the central atom in the Group XIV tetratolyls was shown to determine the solid-state structures courtesy of the effect that it has on the overall size of the molecules (see figure). Because the outer-most methyl groups enter into close intermolecular interactions (for the Si and Ge analogues), the structure is driven to lower symmetry; as a consequence, the smallest (C) and largest (Sn and Pb) analogues are isostructural.

The title compounds have been synthesized Grignard reactions or pyrolysis of diplumbanes respectively.The crystal structures of m-Tol4Pb and Ph4Pb (redetermination) have been determined.All eight compounds (Ph/Tol)4(Sn/Pb) are S4 symmetric and contracted along this unique axis.The 13C-NMR chemical shifts and the couplings 1J(119Sn/207Pb-13C) as well depend additively upon the methyl substituents.The ratios 1K(207Pb-13C):1K(119Sn-13C) of the reduced coupling constants are all near to 1.61; a comparison with values from the literature for alkyl, alkenyl and alkinyl substituents is given.The ratio δ(207Pb):δ(119Sn) results in 2.28.IR (700 down to 200 cm-1) and Raman (700 down to 50 cm-1) data are given.Key words: Tin; Lead; Group 14; Vibrational data; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Crystal structure
