The first Sn diradical [(ADC )Sn] (4) based on an anionic dicarbene (ADC ={CN(Dipp)} CPh; Dipp=2,6-iPr C H ) scaffold has been isolated as a green crystalline solid by KC reduction of the corresponding bis-chlorostannylene [(ADC )SnCl] (3). The six-membered C Sn -ring of 4 containing six π-electrons shows a diatropic ring current, thus 4 may also be regarded as the first 1,4-distannabenzene derivative. DFT calculations suggest an open-shell singlet (OS) ground state of 4 with a remarkably small singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔE =4.4 kcal mol ), which is consistent with CASSCF (ΔE =6.6 kcal mol and diradical character y=37 %) calculations. The diradical 4 splits H at room temperature to yield the bis-hydridostannylene [(ADC )SnH] (5). Further reactivity of 4 has been studied with PhSeSePh and MeOTf.
首个基于阴离子型二卡宾(ADC ={CN(Dipp)}₂CPh;Dipp = 2,6 - iPr₂C₆H₃)骨架的锡双自由基[(ADC )₂Sn] (4) 通过相应的双氯亚锡烯[(ADC )₂SnCl] (3) 的KC还原反应被分离出来,呈绿色晶体状固体。4的六元C₂Sn₂环含有六个π电子,显示出抗磁环流,因此4也可被视为首个1,4 - 二锡苯衍生物。密度泛函理论(DFT)计算表明4的基态为开壳层单重态(OS),单重态 - 三重态能隙(ΔE = 4.4 kcal·mol⁻¹)非常小,这与完全活性空间自洽场(CASSCF)计算结果(ΔE = 6.6 kcal·mol⁻¹,双自由基特征y = 37%)一致。双自由基4在室温下能使H₂分裂,生成双氢化亚锡烯[(ADC )₂SnH₂] (5)。还研究了4与PhSeSePh和MeOTf的进一步反应活性。
