Abstract

Abstract : The reaction of three molecular tin(ii ) precursors with pinacolborane, HBpin, provides facile access to high purity crystalline tin metal under mild conditions from solution. Abstract : We report mild routes for the deposition of crystalline films of elemental tin via the formation and subsequent decomposition of unstable tin(ii ) hydrides. Specifically, we take advantage of efficient O t Bu/H metathesis involving Sn(ii ) alkoxide precursors and the hydride source pinacolborane (HBpin); related -N(SiMe3 )2 /H exchange also afforded elemental tin as a final (insoluble) product.
