N2 - A yellow, diamagnetic tin(II) metallocycle, meso-Sn(CHSiMe3C6H4CHSiMe3-o) (I) showing a monomeric parent ion in its mass spectrum and a first ionisation energy at 7.6 eV in its photoelectron spectrum, is tetrameric in the solid with an Sn4 ring (Sn-Sn 2.852(3) Å), as determined by X-ray structure analysis, and was isolated as a minor product on treating SnCl4 with [{o-C6H4 (CHSiMe3)2}{Li(tmeda)}2] (II) at -78° C (but not +30° C) [tmeda = Me2NCH2CH2NMe2] in OEt2. The major product is the spirocyclic complex Sn(CHSiMe3C6H4CHSiMe3-o)2 in which both ligands are in the meso configuration; compound I was more conveniently obtained from II and Sn(OC6H2Me-4-But2-2,6)2.
