Synthesis, Characterization, and X-ray Structures of Diphenyltin(IV) <i>N</i>-(2-Hydroxyacetophenone)glycinate, Its 1:1 Adduct with Triphenyltin(IV) Chloride, and Related Systems

Abstract

The compound [Ph2Sn(2-OC6H4C(CH3)NCH2COO)], 1, shows a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry in the solid state. Reaction of 1 with Ph3SnCl yields a 1:1 adduct in which the two tin atoms are joined via the carbonyl atom of the ligand in 1 to form a mixed diorgano/triorgano species. NMR data indicate that the 1:1 adduct dissociates in noncoordinating solvent. Similarly, [tBu2Sn(2-OC6H4C(CH3)NCH2COO)·tBu2SnCl2], which has been characterized crystallographically in the solid state, is dissociated in solution. In contrast to the above behavior, monomeric [Vin2Sn(2-OC6H4C(CH3)NCH2COO)] forms an adduct with a water molecule to yield [Vin2Sn(2-OC6H4C(CH3)NCH2COO)OH2] in the solid state.
