“…In view of this, the coordination of these multidentate ligands to (organo)tin may lead to more thermodynamically stable organotin complexes, in contrast to those with monodentate ligands (Vallet et al, 2003;Contreras et al, 2009), a feature which could potentially be useful in catalytic studies (Yearwood et al, 2002). In consideration of this and as part of ongoing work with multidentate ligands of organotin compounds (Lee et al, 2004), an attempt to synthesize an adduct of the potentially tetradentate Schiff base N,N-1,1,2,2-dinitrilevinylenebis(5-bromosalicylaldiminato) with di(p-fluorobenzyl)tin(IV) dichloride was made.…”
