SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURES OF THE COMPLEXES OF BETA-ALKOXYCARBONYLETHYLTIN TRICHLORIDES WITH N-ARYL-2-HYDROXYACETOPHENYLIDENEIMINES

Sixteen novel beta-alkoxycarbonylethyltin trichlorides and the corresp onding N-aryl-2-hydroxyacetophenylideneimines complexes have been synt hesized and characterized. An X-ray crystal structure analysis of the complex of beta-methyloxycarbonylethyltin trichloride and N-4-methylph enyl-2-hydroxyacetophenylideneimine has been performed, The crystal be longs to space group <P(1)over bar>, The cell parameters are: a = 1.02 01(6) nm, b = 1.082 2(4) nm, c = 1.394 9(6) nm, alpha = 99.88(3)degree s, beta = 98.63(4)degrees, gamma = 97.86(4)degrees, Z = 2, The ligands coordinate to tin atom via phenolic oxygen atom. Coordination of carb onyl oxygen atom to tin atom still exists in the complexes, The coordi nation number of tin atom is 6.
