“…It was found that, depending on the number (2,3) and the nature (Me, Ph) of the organic substituents at the tin(IV) atom, the cupferronato anion displays various coordination patters in these molecules, chelating (Scheme 2a), bridging (Scheme 2b), and bridging chelating (Scheme 2c). As a consequence, the central tin(IV) atom assumes a penta-, hexa-or hepta-coordinate state, respectively, and the resulting complexes display different coordination geometries at the central tin(IV) atom [5][6][7]. Bridging chelating coordination of the cupferronato ligand to Me 2 Sn(IV) 2+ cation gives the dimeric species (Scheme 2c) [6], whereas a bridging coordination to Me 3 Sn(IV) + affords the tetrameric complex (Scheme 2b) [5].…”
