Abstract

The di- and triorganotin(IV) derivatives of anthracenecarboxylic acid, Ph2MeSnOC(O)C14H9 (2), Me3SnOC(O)C14H9 (3), Me2SnOC(O)C14H9(2)center dot CH3OH (4) Ph3SnOC(O)C14H9 center dot CH3OH (5), Ph2EtSnOC(O)C14H9 (6), Ph2SnOC(O)(C14H9)(2) (7) and PhMe2SnOC(O)C14H9 (8) were synthesized by the reaction of Ph2MeSnI, Me3SnCl, Me2SnCl2, Ph3SnCl, Ph(2)EtSnl, Ph2SnCl2, and PhMe2SnI with 9-anthracenecarboxylic acid, respectively, with the aid of potassium iso-propoxide. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR, H-1, C-13 and Sn-119 NMR spectroscopes. The molecular structures of complexes 2, 3 and 4 were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. The X-ray structures reveal that complex 2 and 3 adopt a polymeric trans-C3SnO2 trigonal bipyamidal configuration with the oxygen atoms occupying axial positions. Complex 4 adopts a monomeric structure with two carboxylates coordinated to tin in a monodentate form from axial and equatorial positions, and with the coordination number raised to five as the methanol occupies the apical position of the trigonal bipyramid.
