Dichlorodibutylstannane, dichlorodioctylstannane and dichlorodiphenylstannane were reacted with different amounts of sodium in liquid ammonia. At a molar ratio of R2SnCl2/Na of 1:2, polystannanes precipitated, in some cases accompanied by cyclic oligostannanes. The products resulting from mixtures with R2SnCl2/Na ratios of 1:3 to 1:10 were soluble and, hence, could be studied in-situ in liquid ammonia with 119Sn NMR spectroscopy. The compounds obtained, tin hydrides of the type R2SnH- and in certain cases distannides of the composition R4Sn22-, formed essentially independent of the R2SnCl2/Na ratio; this, in contrast to views expressed in the literature. Our experiments showed that the chemical structure of the in-situ generated species did not permit to draw conclusions about the composition of the reaction products with bromoethane and vice versa - a practice commonly described. Furthermore, we observed migration of the butyl groups both in-situ during the reaction of dichlorodibutylstannane with sodium in liquid ammonia, as well as in the final reaction product. By contrast in the case of the phenyl substituent, migration was detected not during the chemical event in liquid ammonia, but only in the compounds formed. These observations imply a different mechanism for butyl and phenyl group migration.

Dimethyl- and diphenylstannylene (SnMe2 and SnPh2, respectively) have been successfully detected and characterized in solution. The stannylenes were generated by photolysis of 1,1,3-trimethyl-4-phenyl- (2) and 3,4-dimethyl-1,1-diphenylstannacyclopent-3-ene (3), respectively, which have been shown to extrude the species cleanly and in high (0.6 2SnCl2) as the stannylene substrate. Laser flash photolysis of 2 and 3 in deoxygenated hexanes affords promptly formed transient absorptions assigned to SnMe2 (λmax = 500 nm; ε500 = 1800 ± 600 M-1 cm-1) and SnPh2 (λmax = 290, 505 nm; ε500 = 2500 ± 600 M-1 cm-1), respectively, which decay with absolute second-order rate constants within a factor of 2 of the diffusional limit in both cases. The decay of the stannylenes is accompanied by the growth of new transient absorptions ascribable to the corresponding dimers, the structures of which are assigned with the aid of DFT and time-dependent (TD) DFT calculations at the (TD)ωB97XD/6-31+G(d,p)C,H,O-LANL2DZdpSn level of theory. Dimerization of SnMe2 affords a species exhibiting λmax = 465 nm, which is assigned to the expected Sn=Sn doubly bonded dimer, tetramethyldistannene (Me2Sn=SnMe2, 16a), in agreement with earlier work. In contrast, the spectrum of the dimer formed from SnPh2 exhibits strong absorptions in the 280-380 nm range and a very weak absorption at 650 nm, on the basis of which it is assigned to phenyl(triphenylstannyl)stannylene (17b). The calculations suggest that 17b is formed via ultrafast rearrangement of a novel phenyl-bridged stannylidenestannylene intermediate (20), which can be formed either directly by "endo" dimerization of SnPh2 or by isomerization of the "exo" dimer, tetraphenyldistannene (16b); the predicted barriers for these rearrangements are consistent with the experimental finding that the observed product is formed at close to the diffusion-controlled rate. Absolute rate and equilibrium constants are reported for the reactions of SnMe2 and SnPh2 with Me2SnCl2 and methanol (MeOH), respectively, in hexanes at 25 °C.
