Abstract
New six-co-ordinate tris(bidentate ligand) complexes of tin(IV) with O,O' ligands have been prepared and characterised by H-1 and Sn-119 NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. The Sn-119 NMR spectra of the symmetrical complexes reveal the interaction of the three ligands with the tin nuclei. Long range 4J(Sn-H) and 5J(Sn-H) coupling is observed. Comparison with the corresponding silicon complexes shows a linear relationship between the chemical shifts of the Sn-119 and Si-29 nuclei. Tin-119 NMR spectroscopy indicates that the tin(IV) complexes are six-co-ordinate species, except for the Sn(trop)3X (Htrop = tropolone, X = Cl, Br or I) complexes which are seven-coordinate. Mixed mono- and di-basic bidentate ligand complexes form neutral six-co-ordinate complexes.
