(Cy2NH2O2CPh)3(SnCl4)2 AND (SnBu2)4(O2CPh)16Cl6(OH)2(Cy2NH2)16: SYNTHESIS AND SPECTROSCOPIC CHARACTERIZATION

Abstract

The two title compounds have been synthesized, their IR and Mössbauer studies carried out. The structures are discrete and contain mono- and bidentate PhCO2-, the environment around the tin (IV) centre being octahedral (in SnCl4 adduct), trapezoidal bipyramidal (in the SnBu2 residue containing derivative). A tetranuclear monomeric or an oligomeric structure is suggested in the tetranuclear SnBu2 residue containing derivative.
