Abstract

The preparation and characterization (IR, 1H, 13C {1H}, 119Sn NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray structure determination) are reported for Ph3SnOCMe2C (O) OEt (1) and Ph2Sn [OCMe2C (O) NMe2] 2 (2). In the solid state, compound 1 contains four-coordinate tin with evidence for incipient bond formation to the ester oxygen: Sn⋯ O= 2.648 (2) Å. Compound 2 contains six-coordinate tin in a pseudo- ...
