Synthesis and Characterisation of Some DI & Triorganotin(IV) Derivatives of Schiff Bases

Abstract

Twenty novel compounds of di and triorganotin (IV) derivatives with two Schiff base ligands derived from furan-2-aldehyde with aniline (L₁) and from p-toluidine with glyoxal (L₂), have been prepared possessing formulae such as: [Ph₂Sn(L₁ or L₂)X₂]; [Ph₂Sn (L₁ or L₂)₂]Y₂; [Ph₃Sn(L₁ or L₂) X]; [Ph₃Sn(L₁ or L₂)]Y, where X = Cl^–, SCN^–, Y =ClO₄^– , BF₄^–, NO₃^–. These are assigned six coordinate octahedral or five coordinate trigonal bipyramidal structures respectively on the basis of analytical and spectral studies.
