Reductive cleavage of Zn-C bonds by group 14 Zintl anions: synthesis and characterisation of [E9ZnR]3- (E = Ge, Sn, Pb; R = Mes, iPr).
The reaction of ethylenediamine solutions of K(4)E(9) (E = Ge, Sn, Pb) with diaryl and dialkyl organozinc reagents ZnMes(2) and Zn(i)Pr(2) yielded the functionalized Zintl ions, closo-[E(9)ZnR](3-) (R = Mes: E = Ge (1), Sn (2), Pb (3); R = (i)Pr: E = Ge (4), Sn (5), Pb (6)). These reactions proceed...
