Abstract

Title full: Transition metal Schiff-base complexes as ligands in tin chemistry. IV. Reactions of triphenyltin chloride with divalent metal salicylaldimine complexes and the molecular structures of [SnPh3Cl · H2O][Ni(3-MeOsal1,3pn) · H2O] (1:1) and [SnPh3Cl · H2O]Ni(3-MeOsal1,3pren) (1:1) [H23-MeOsal1,3pn N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)propane-1,3-diamine]. Unlike diorganotin(IV) dihalides, triphenyl- and tribenzyl-tin chlorides do not react with Schiff-base complexes M(SB) (M CuII, NiII and ZnII; SB N,N′-ethylenebis-salicylideneaminato and related salicylaldimine ligands). Triphenyltin chloride does however form 1:1 addition complexes with 3,3′-methoxy substituted salicylaldimines of NiII and CuII, but only in the presence of water. Each of these complexes contains the aquo adduct SnPh3Cl · H2O, with the donor water molecule engaged in hydrogen bonding interactions with the four oxygen atoms of the divalent metal salicyaldimine. These structural features were confirmed crystallographically for (SnPh3Cl · H2O)Ni(3-MeOsal1,3pn) (1:1) [H23-MeOsal1,3pn N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)propane-1,3-diamine]. In the case of [SnPh3Cl · H2O][Ni(3-MeOsal1,3pn) · H2O] (1:1) both the water molecule coordinated to nickel and the water molecule coordinated to tin engage in hydrogen bonding interactions with the Schiff-base oxygen atoms, thereby creating centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers.
