title: O,S-Heterocyclic stannylenes: synthesis and reactivity.
abstract: Commercially available N-oxide (2-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide) is used as a ligand instead of an oxidizing agent to stabilize the compounds of main group elements in low-valent states. The isolated compounds [(C5H4NOS)2Sn (), (C5H4NOS)SnCl () and (C5H4NOS)GeCl ()] are the first structurally characterized examples of O,S-heterocyclic stannylenes and germylenes with interesting bonding features. Further, the reaction of compound with SbCl3 afforded the rare dichlorodiantimony oxide [{(C5H4NOS)SbCl}2O] () unprecedentedly.
