“…The tincarbon coupling constant 1 J(Sn, 13 C) is 660 Hz; on the basis of LockartsÕs equation [26], the Me-Sn-Me angle is estimated to 134°, suggesting a skewed penta-coordination around the tin atom. The 119 Sn chemical shifts of diorganotin(IV) derivatives 3, 5 and 7, at À182.3, À205.8 and À310.0 ppm, respectively, are in accordance with those of five-coordinated diorganotin(IV)halides complexes involving S-, O-or N-donors [28][29][30]. The 119 Sn chemical shifts of the monoorganotin(IV) derivatives 2, 4 and 6, at À483.5, À499.8 and À480.3, respectively, provide an additional support for five-coordinated tin atoms.…”
