The reaction of 1 equiv of the dimeric lithium salt of a new London dispersion effect donor ligand {Li(C6H2-2,4,6-Cy3)·OEt2}2(Cy = cyclohexyl) with SnCl2afforded the distannene {Sn(C6H2-2,4,6-Cy3)2}2(1). The distannene remains dimeric in solution, as indicated by its room-temperature119Sn NMR signal (δ = 361.3 ppm) and its electronic spectrum, which is invariant over the temperature range of −10 to 100 °C. The formation of the distannene, which has a short Sn–Sn distance of 2.7005(7) Å and greatly enhanced stability in solution compared to that of other distannenes, is due to increased interligand London dispersion (LD) attraction arising from multiple close approaches of ligand C–H moieties across the Sn–Sn bond. DFT-D4 calculations revealed a dispersion stabilization of dimer1of 38 kcal mol–1and a dimerization free energy of ΔGdimer= −6 kcal mol–1. In contrast, the reaction of 2 equiv of the similarly shaped but less bulky, less hydrogen-rich Li(C6H2-2,4,6-Ph3)·(OEt2)2with SnCl2yielded the monomeric stannylene Sn(C6H2-2,4,6-Ph3)2(2), which is unstable in solution at ambient temperature.
