CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF CHLORODIMETHYLTIN ΒIS(p-CHLOROBENZOYLHYDRAZINE) CHLORIDE p-CHLOROBENZOYLHYDRAZINE: A DIORGANOTIN CATION WITH PENTAGONAL BIPYRAMIDAL COORDINATION

[N-(2-Aminocyclohexyl)salicylaldiminato-κ3O,N,N′]dichlorophenyltin(IV) chloroform solvate

“…Organotin compounds having a similar SnÐN bond are rare, as amines tend to promote the hydrolysis of the starting organotin halide reagent. Other than the cysteine derivative (Domazetis et al, 1979;Domazetis & Mackay, 1979), the only structurally authenticated examples are a dichlorobutyltin complex of a substituted salicylaldimine (Yearwood et al, 2002), the chlorodimethyltin complex of a hydrazine (Baul et al, 1996), as well as two 8-aminoquinoline adducts of diorganotin dichlorides (Bengston et al, 1996;Hazell et al, 1997). The SnÐN bond length in the title complex is similar to those found in these two adducts.…”
