Wm. Teles et al., A MOSSBAUER INVESTIGATION OF COMPLEXES OF TIN TETRAHALIDES WITH AMBIDENTATE LEWIS-BASES CONTAINING NITROGEN, SULFUR AND OXYGEN, Hyperfine interactions, 83(1-4), 1994, pp. 175-181
A series of 1 : 1 complexes was prepared with SnX4 (X = Cl, Br, I) and
the Lewis bases 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole
, 2-aminothiazole, 2-acetylpyridine, and 2,2'-bis(pyridyl)ketone. The
latter two ligands yielded bidentate, N, O-bonded hexacoordinate compl
exes, whereas the other ligands produced monodentate, N-bonded pentaco
ordinate species, as suggested by Mossbauer parameters, which correlat
e quite well with the IR spectroscopy data.
