Abstract

The orange (GeII) or maroon (SnII) bivalent group 4 metal di-t-butylamides were obtained from LiNBut2 and GeCl2·dioxan or SnCl2 in tetrahydrofuran, and are low melting diamagnetic, volatile, monomeric (cryoscopy in C6H 12), labile compounds (readily yielding ·NBut 2); X-ray analysis of the title compound to R = 0.091 shows that this related GeII amide is a monomer in the crystal with a long Ge-N bond of 1.885 Å and an NGeN angle of 111.4(5)°.
