Treatment of the neutral 2-[C(CH3)鈺怤(C6H3-2,6-iPr2)]-6-(CH3O)C6H3N ligand (hereafter assigned as L) with SnCl2 and GeCl2 provided the ionic germanium(II) and tin(II) complexes [LGeIICl]+[GeIICl3]鈭?/sup> (1) and [LSnIICl]+[SnIICl3]鈭?/sup> (2), respectively, as the result of spontaneous dissociation of ECl2 (E = Ge, Sn). The cationic parts [LEIICl]+ of 1 and 2 contain three-coordinated germanium(II) and tin(II) atoms. In comparison, treatment of the ligand L with GeCl4 and SnBr4 yielded the germanium(IV) and tin(IV) complexes LGeCl4 (3) and LSnBr4 (4), respectively, and no dissociation process was observed. Compounds 1鈥?b>4 were characterized by means of elemental analyses, 1H, 13C, and 119Sn NMR spectroscopies, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis in (compounds 1 and 4).
