Abstract

N-(3-hydroxypyridine-2-yl)-5-hydroxysalicylideneimine(HOC 6H 3OHCHNC 5H 3NOH) ( 1) and its dimethyltin(IV) complex (Me 2Sn(OC 6H 3OHCHNC 5H 3NO)) ( 2) were prepared and characterized by 1H-NMR, IR, mass spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The complex ( 2) crystallizes in the space group C 2/ c with cell dimensions a=20.841(2), b=10.646(2), c=13.206(2) Å, β=105.95(1)° with Z=8, V=2817.3(6) Å 3. Molecular structure has been determined by standard methods and refined by full-matrix least squares (on F 2) to R value of 0.036. The studied tin(IV) complex exhibits the strongly distorted square-pyramidal geometry around tin atom. In the solid state, each distorted square-pyramidal Me 2Sn(OC 6H 3OHCHNC 5H 3NO) unit is connected to the others via dual use of hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. The tautomeric effect of ligand was discussed besides the coordination geometry of the complex ( 2).
