A1 - Radius, Udo A1 - Weigend, Florian A1 - Breher, Frank T1 - NON‐Ligated N‐Heterocyclic Tetrylenes T2 - European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry N2 - We report on the synthesis of N‐heterocyclic tetrylenes ligated by the NON‐donor framework 4,5‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl‐amino)‐2,7‐di‐tert‐butyl‐9,9‐dimethylxanthene. The molecular structures of the germylene (3), stannylene (4) and plumbylene (5) where determined by X‐ray diffraction studies. Furthermore, we present quantum chemical studies on the σ‐donor and π‐acceptor properties of 3–5. Additionally, we report on the reactivity of the tetrylenes towards the transition metal carbonyls [Rh(CO)\(_{2}\)Cl]\(_{2}\), [W(CO)\(_{6}\)] and [Ni(CO)\(_{4}\)]. The isolated complexes (6 and 7) show the differing reactivity of NHTs compared to NHCs. Instead of just forming the anticipated complex [(NON)Sn−Rh(CO)\(_{2}\)Cl], 4 inserts into the Rh−Cl bond to afford [(NON)Sn(Cl)Rh(CO)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{6}\))] (6, additional CO/C6H6 exchange) and [(NON)Sn(Cl)Rh\(_{2}\)(CO)\(_{4}\)Cl] (7). By avoiding halogenated transition metal precursors in order to prevent insertion reactions, germylene 3 shows “classical” coordination chemistry towards {Ni(CO)3} forming the complex [(NON)Ge−Ni(CO)\(_{3}\)] (8).
