Stabilization of triaryltin(IV) cations containing an O, C, O-coordinating pincer-type ligand. Isolation of a new [Ag(1-CB11H12)(3)](2-) anion

Abstract

Reported is the stabilization of pincer-type triaryltin(IV) [(ArSnPh2)-Sn-1](+) and [(ArSnPh2)-Sn-2](+) cations (where Ar-1 = 1-{2,6-(MeO)(2)C6H3} and Ar-2 = 1-{2,6-(t-BuO)(2)C6H3}) with weakly coordinating carborane anions [1-CB11H12](-) .
