Abstract

The molecular electric dipole moments are reported for the series of tin-substituted tetracarbonyl cobalt compounds R n Y m−n Sn{Co(CO) 4} 4− m ( m = 1–3; n ⩽ m; R = alkyl, phenyl; Y = halogen). The effect of the substituents at the tin atom on the nature of the CoSn bond is established on calculating the (CO) 4CoSn group dipole moments. It is shown that the charge transfer in the CoSn bond is mainly determined by the inductive properties of the ligands attached to tin.
