Abstract

Air stable chloroform solutions of Schiff base complexes of Coii undergo rapid cobalt oxidation on addition of n-butyltin trichloride yielding complexes in which, as exemplified by the crystal structure of BunSn(OMe)Cl2·CoCl-(salen) [salen = N,N’-ethylenebis(salicylideneaminato)], the cobalt(iii) Schiff base species behave as Lewis bases towards tin(iv).
