D. Dey et al., A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT OF [SN(CH3)2(L(2)](CLO4)2, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 66(5), 1993, pp. 1556-1558
A general synthesis for a novel class of complexes of the type, [Sn(CH
3)2(L2)](ClO4)2 (L=2-(substituted arylazo) pyridine) is reported. The
structure of the complexes have been investigated by 119tin Mossbauer
spectroscopy and NMR coupling constant ((SnCH))-Sn-117/119. Further, t
he extent of distortion of tin-methyl groups in octahedral complexes h
ave been calculated from the quadrupole shift (Q.S.) values using Pari
sh's relationship.
