Crystal and Molecular Structure of Aquatriphenyltin 2-(3-Formyl-4-Hydroxyphenylazo)benzoate

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, {Ph3Sn[C>2CC6H4(N=N(C6H3-4-OH-5-CHO))-o]OH2}, reveals the carboxylate group to coordinate the tin atom via one oxygen atom only [Sn-0 2.161(5) A], The tin atom is also coordinated by a water molecule [Sn-O 2.527(5) Ä] and exists in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with the three phenyl groups in equatorial positions; the O-Sn-O axial angle is 176.3(2)°. The lattice is stabilised by Η-bonding contacts as well as charge-transfer interactions. Introduction. The chemistry of organotin carboxylates is of importance owing to the wide use of such compounds in a variety of applications [1-4]. For example, organotin carboxylates have been used as homogeneous catalysts and as biocides. More recently, the anti-tumour properties of this class of compound have been investigated [5]. Crucial to the understanding of how these compounds function is a knowledge of their structure and, as a consequence, a large number of crystal structure determinations of organotin carboxylates have been reported for which a rich diversity of structural motifs exist [6, 7], An additional donor atom(s) resident on the carboxylate residue also increases the range of structural possibilities and it has been noted that frequently Sn-N and Sn-0 interactions of this type may be found, in addition to the Sn-O(carboxylate) connectivities [6, 7]. As a part of a wider study designed to ascertain the reason(s) for the structural variation found in these systems, the title compound, {Ph 3 Sn[02CC6H4(N = N(C 6 H3-4-OH-5-CHO))-o]OH2}, has been prepared and characterised. The crystal and molecular structure of {Ph3Sn[0 2 CC6H 4 (N=N(C6H3-4-0H-5-CH0))o]} as the unsolvated [8] and solvated [9] forms have been reported.

Triorganotin(IV) derivatives with semirigid heteroditopic hydroxo‐carboxylato ligands: Synthesis, characterization, and cytotoxic properties

“…Steady-state ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra for 1-10 were recorded at ambient temperature in DMSO (spectroscopy grade, Merck) solutions (concentration: $10 −5 M) on a PerkinElmer Lambda25 absorption spectrophotometer ( Figure S41). [64] (0.30 g, 1.11 mmol) in hot absolute ethanol (30 ml) was added under stirring to a solution of cyclopropylamine (0.06 g, 1.11 mmol) in the same solvent (30 ml). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 5 h, whereupon the solution turned red.…”
