Monomers as well as dimers have been established for the structures of N-lithiostannylamines in the solid state as well as in solution (the picture shows the crystal structure of the monomer [(Me3Sn)2-NLi{ (Me2NCH2CH2)2NMe}]). These compounds, which were synthesized for the first time from stannylamines with n-butyllithium, are remarkably reactive in solution despite having extremely short Li-N and Sn-N bonds. The selective and successive cleavage of the Li-N and Sn-N bonds under mild conditions holds great promise for their synthetic application.
