Synthesis, structural and spectral studies of five- and six-coordinate adducts of organotin(IV) halides containing dibenzylsulfoxide (dbso) as ligand. The crystal structures of fac-[MeSnCl3(dbso)2] and trans-[Ph2SnCl2(dbso)2]

Resumo

The reaction of the ambidentate ligand dibenzylsulfoxide (dbso) with Me2SnCl2 in 1:1 molar ratio leads to the formation of the five-coordinate adduct [Me2SnCl2(dbso)], whereas the same reaction conditions with Ph2SnCl2 provide the six-coordinate adduct trans-[Ph2SnCl2(dbso)2]. On the other hand, the reaction with nBu2SnCl2 forms the dimeric adduct [{nBu2SnCl2(dbso)}2], which probably possesses octahedral tin(IV) nuclei and bridging chlorides. The adducts [MeSnCl3(dbso)2] and [Ph3SnCl(dbso)] were also prepared and included in the study. All complexes were studied by microanalysis and IR, NMR (1H, 13C and 119Sn) and Mössbauer spectroscopies to investigate their structural properties. The six-coordinate species fac-[MeSnCl3(dbso)2] and trans-[Ph2SnCl2(dbso)2] were also studied by single crystal X-ray diffractometry. These compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic, Pbcn, and monoclinic space group P21/c, respectively, as discrete neutral molecules with the tin(IV) atom in a distorted octahedral geometry and the two dbso ligands in cis and trans positions, respectively.
