“…Consequently, the structures of a few organotin(IV) quinolin-8-olates have been investigated by X-ray crystallography. The diorganotin(IV) bis(quinolin-8-olate) group of compounds has received the most attention and the crystal structures of R 2 SnL 2 complexes, where R = Me [5], p-ClPh and p-MePh [6], n Bu and Cl [7], n Bu [8], t Bu [8] and Ph [9], showed molecules with a highly distorted octahedral coordination of the tin atom by bidentate quinolin-8-olate groups and essentially cis-R groups. In addition, structural information on two other types, viz., R 2 SnLX (e.g.…”
