Abstract

Using a laser flash photolysis/laser probe technique, we report the observation of strong absorption signals in the wavelength region 450-520 nm (highest intensity at 514.5 nm) from four potential precursors of dimethylstannylene, SnMe2, subjected to 193 nm UV pulses. From GC analyses of the gaseous products, combined with quantum chemical excited state CIS and TD calculations, we can attribute these absorptions largely to SnMe2, with SnMe4 ...
