Abstract:

Measurements are reported of the heats of reaction of stannic chloride with tetramethyltin, tetraethyltin, tetrabutyltin and tetravinyltin in the liquid state at 25 C. The heats of these redistribution reactions are examined in terms of the bond-energy and bond-bond interaction scheme of Allen. Values are obtained for the heats of formation as liquids of Me3SnC1, Me2SnC12, MeSnC13, Et3SnC1 and EtSnC13. Accepting a measured value for the first CH3-Sn bond dissociation energy in Me2SnC12 D1 56 kcal mole, the thermochemistry provides the second CH3-Sn dissociation energy D2 32 kcalmole, and another example of non-equivalent stepwise dissociation energies of metalcarbon bonds.
