Low-Valent Group 14 Phosphinidenide Complexes [({SIDipp}P)₂ M] Exhibit P-M pπ-pπ Interaction (M=Ge, Sn, Pb).

ABSTRACT: Herein, the synthesis of new low-valent Group 14 phosphinidenide complexes [({SIDipp}P)₂ M] exhibiting P-M pπ-pπ interactions (SIDipp=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazolidin-2-ylidene, M=Ge, Sn, Pb), is presented. These compounds were investigated by means of structural, spectroscopic, and quantum-chemical methods. Furthermore, the monosubstituted compounds [(SIDippP)MX]₂ (M=Sn, X=Cl; M=Pb, X=Br) are presented, which show dimeric structures instead of multiple bonding interaction.
