“…13,14 The 119 Sn NMR spectrum for sample 2 exhibits three peaks in the field (À150, À175 ppm), and the expected sites are Bu 2 Sn[O] 3 , Bu 2 Sn[O] 2 OH, and Bu 2 Sn[O] 2 OR corresponding to the unachieved hydrolysis and/or condensation reactions, while the two peaks at higher field (À175, À200 ppm) are assigned to Bu 2 SnO(OR)(OAc or OR) according to the literature. 15 Bu 2 Sn[O] 2 (OAc) is precluded since no resonance is found in the field (À200, À240 ppm). The 119 Sn NMR spectra for 2 consist of more than 91% pentacoordinated sites in the field (À150, À200 ppm) and 9% hexacoordinated sites in the field (À300, À400 ppm).…”
