The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [SnBr2(C13H12N2)], contains an amidine ligand and tin(II) bromide moiety. In the amidine ligand, the phenyl rings present a head-to-tail configuration mode. The tin atom is coordinated by the terminal N atom of the amidine ligand, and the two Br atoms extend to both sides of the Sn atom in a V-shape. The phenyl rings are twisted from the mean N/C/N plane by 26.14 (18) and 79.50 (8)°. The crystal structure features N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds.

Structure description

The representative amidinate ligand [RC(NR)2] is four-electron monoanionic and has a typical conjugated N—C—N construction, through which the negative charge is able to be delocalized so as to form chelating surroundings (Bai et al., 2010[Bai, S.-D., Tong, H.-B., Guo, J.-P., Zhou, M.-S., Liu, D.-S. & Yuan, S.-F. (2010). Polyhedron, 29, 262-269.]). Based on this backbone, amidinates have been widely ligated to transition metals (Edelmann, 1994[Edelmann, F. T. (1994). Coord. Chem. Rev. 137, 403-481.]), particularly the group 14 metallyl­enes tin(II). Tin(II) amidinates belong to the family of complexes bearing so-called spectator ligands which are commonly used for fine-tuning of the electronic as well as coordination properties of the metal atom (Chlupatý et al., 2015[Chlupatý, T., Růžičková, Z., Horáček, M., Alonso, M., De Proft, F., Kampová, H., Brus, J. & Růžička, A. (2015). Organometallics, 34, 606-615.]). Inter­esting features in the title compound arise from the highly catalytic activity in the ring-opening polymerization of caprolactone and aryl iso­cyanates to perhydro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones (isocyanurates) in a living fashion, under mild conditions. As part of our studies in this area, the title compound (Fig. 1[link]) was prepared in a novel manner (reaction in Schlenk bottle by PhNH2, nBuLi, SiMe2Cl2, PhCN, SnCl2 and Br2) and we have determined its crystal structure. The compound is closely similar to the benzamidine with an o-tolyl substituent on the N atom, namely N2-o-tolyl­benzamidine (Zhang et al., 2008[Zhang, L.-Z. & Tong, H.-B. (2008). Acta Cryst. E64, o1276.]), which has no stannous bromine moiety attached.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [SnBr2(C13H12N2)], contains an amidine ligand and tin(II) bromide. In the amidine ligand, the phenyl rings exhibit a head-to-tail configuration mode. The tin atom is coordinated by the terminal N atom of the amidine ligand, and the two Br atoms extend to both sides of Sn in a V-shape (Fig. 1[link]). The outward expansion configuration of the two bromine atoms is due to the large steric hindrance of the nearby substituents. The C2–C7 and C8–C13 phenyl rings are twisted from the N1/C1/N2 mean plane by 26.14 (18) and 79.50 (8)°, respectively. The two N atoms connect the central C atom with bond lengths of 1.315 (5) and 1.324 (5) Å, while the Sn—N bond length is 2.176 (3) and the Sn—Br bond lengths are 2.6286 (6) and 2.6313 (6) Å.

In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked into chains along [100] by N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2[link], Table 1[link]).

Synthesis and crystallization

The title compound was prepared by a reaction of aniline, nBuLi, SiMe2Cl2, PhCN, SnCl2 and Br2. To a solution of aniline (2.328 g, 5 mmol) in diethyl ether (30 ml) were added nBuLi (2 ml, 2.5 M, 5 mmol) at 273 K and 0.5 equiv. of dimethyl di­chloro­silane (0.3 ml, 2.5 mmol) 3 h later; the solution was stirred overnight and filtered to remove the white LiCl precipitate. nBuLi (2 ml, 2.5 M, 5 mmol) was added again, then PhCN (0.5 ml, 5 mmol) was added by syringe in drops 4 h later. After stirring overnight, SnCl2 (0.474 g, 2.5 mmol) was added at 273 K and the solution was stirred for 12 h. Then the solvent was removed under vacuum followed by extraction with di­chloro­methane and filtration to remove the white LiCl precipitate. To the filtrate was added Br2 (0.13 ml, 2.52 mmol) and the solution was concentrated in vacuo to ca 15 ml about 24 h later. Colorless crystals (0.151 g, 76% yield) were obtained in toluene.

1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 6.59–7.68 (m, 11H; phenyl, C=N), 11.04 (s, 1H, C—N). 13C NMR(75 MHz, CDCl3): δ 122.03, 124.32, 124.68, 127.68, 128.21, 128.67, 130.08 (phenyls), Elemental analysis (calculated %) for C13H12Br2N2Sn: C, 30.81; H, 2.45; N, 6.09%. Found: C, 31.89; H, 2.55; N, 5.90%.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
