“…X-ray structural analyses for Ph,SnOCOR where R contains a phenolic functional group as in Ph,SnOCOC6H4-OH-o (6), Ph3SnOCOC6H40CH3-o (6), Ph3SnOCOC6H4-OPh-o (7), Ph3SnOCOC6H4(N2C6H3MeOH) (the ligand in this complex is o-(2-hydroxy-5-methy1phenylazo)-benzoate (8) failed to firmly establish the presence of an linkage even though such a network was reported for the trimethyltin(1V) analogue, Me,SnOCOC6H40H-o (9). W e describe here the synthesis and characterization by IR and NMR spectroscopic techniques of a series of triphenyltin derivatives of N-salicylidene-o-amino acids, 2-HOC6H4-CH=N(CH,),,COOH, and N-2-hydroxynaphthylidene-oamino acids, 2-HOC,,H6CH=N(CH2),,COOH (n = 1, 2, 3, and 5).…”
