Abstract

The compound [η5-(C6Me6)SnCl(AlCl4)]4 has been prepared from Sn(AlCl4)2 and hexamethylbenzene in chlorobenzene as solvent. Its crystal structure has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure is composed of dimeric units [η6-(C6Me6)SnCl(AlCl4)]2 containing crystallographically nonequivalent monomers. These dimers are cross-linked to form centrosymmetrical tetramers. The C6Me6 aromatic rings are η6-bonded to the tin atoms, while the crystalchlorobenzene molecules have no metal contacts. Pb(AlBr4)2 crystallizes from benzene as a polycoordinate network, in which the Pb11 centers are eight-coordinate to the bromine atoms of four chelating AlBr4 units. The solvating benzene has no metal contact.
