Abstract
The 13C and 119Sn NMR spectra of tri(1-butyl)tin(IV) and triphenyltin(IV) oxinates and 1-naphthoxides in neat liquid and deuteriochloroform, pentadeuteriopyridine and hexamethylphosphortriamide solutions, and the 15N NMR spectra of both the oxinates and 8-methoxyquinoline in deuteriochloroform have been recorded. From the comparison of chemical shifts δ( 13C), δ( 15N) and δ( 119Sn) and coupling constants nJ ( 119Sn 13C) of the compounds it is concluded that the triorganotin(IV) oxinates, both as the neat liquid and in solution, form complexes containing five-coordinate tin atoms. In the neat liquid and in deuteriochloroform (a non-coordinating solvent) oxinates form chelate complexes with a cis-trigonal bipyramid arrangement. In coordinating solvents (pentadeuteriopyridine, hexamethylphosphortriamide) these are equilibria involving the formation of small amounts of oxinate complexes with one solvent molecule. These complexes have trans-trigonal bipyramid geometry with butyl or phenyl groups in equatorial plane and the monodentate oxinate group and a solvent molecule in axial positions.
