Abstract
A new mixed-ligand tin(IV) complex 2 derived from 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone and ferrocenylaldimine phenol 1 has been prepared and characterized by different physicochemical methods (IR, 1HNMR, and 119Sn NMR spectroscopies). Electrochemical transformations of complex 2 have been studied by cyclic voltammetry. Catecholate and ferrocenyl groups have been found to take part in the redox transformations. Chemical oxidation of complex 2 with silver triflate in a dichloromethane solution has been studied. Formation of monocationic complex 2 + has been detected by EPR spectroscopy. The catecholate ligand has been found to be the primary redox center subjected to oxidation.
