ADDITION COMPOUNDS OF THE GROUP IV HALIDES: II. ETHYLAMINE AND THE TETRACHLORIDES OF SILICON, GERMANIUM, TIN, AND TITANIUM

Abstract

Aminates of tin tetrachloride and titanium tetrachloride are reported. On the bases of these compounds, and the recovery of a tetraminate, SiCl4•4EtNH2, from among the substitution products in the reaction of silicon tetrachloride with ethylamine at −78 °C., it is suggested that the transition state in the substitution reaction corresponds to an addition compound.
