Tin(IV) and organotin(IV) derivatives of bis(pyrazolyl)acetate: Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and behaviour in solution.: X-ray single crystal study of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetatotri-iodotin(IV) [SnI 3(bdmpza)

Abstract

Novel heteroscorpionate-containing tin and organotin(IV) complexes, [SnR n X 3 − n (L)], R = Me, Bu n , Ph, or cy; X = Cl, Br or I, n = 0, 1, 2 or 3; L = bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetate (bpza) or bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate (bdmpza), have been synthesized and characterized by spectral (IR, 1H, 13C and 119Sn NMR, 119mSn Mössbauer) and analytical data. In [SnI 3(bdmpza)], the ligand is fac-N, N′, O-tridentate, the three iodine atoms thus also fac about the six-coordinate tin(IV) atom. Neutral bpzaH reacts with Bu n SnCl 3, PhSnCl 3 and SnCl 4 in Et 2O in the absence of base, yielding 1:1 adducts [XSnCl 3(bpzaH)] (X = R or Cl).
