Abstract:A series of new octahedral bis‐3,6‐di‐tert‐butylcatecholates based on tin(IV) containing metal‐coordinated N‐donor ligands (substituted iminopyridines and diazabutadienes) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The compounds, both solid and in solution, are intensely colored. They absorb in the visible region of the spectrum. Charge transfer between the catecholate donor and the diimine acceptor is responsible for the absorption. This observation is in good agreement with the DFT calculations and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
