Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of Kinetically Stabilized Low-coordinated Organolead Compounds

Abstract

Divalent organolead compounds (plumbylenes) and lead-sulfur double-bond compounds (plumbanethiones) were synthesized by taking advantage of the kinetic stabilization method, and their crystal structures, spectroscopic properties and reactivities were investigated. Thermal reaction of a plumbanethione afforded an aryl (arylthio) plumbylene via 1, 2-aryl migration.
