The coordination behavior of a series of [Sn(OR)2] systems modified by substituted amine-bis(phenolate)ligands was investigated. The complexes were synthesised from the reaction of Sn[N(SiMe3)2]2 and the appropriate pro-ligand: N,N-bis(3,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylamine (L1H2), N',N'-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)-N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (L2H2), N,N'-bis(3,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxyphenylmethyl)-N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine (L3H2), 1,4-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)-1,4-diazepane (L4H2), 2,2',4,4'-tetramethyl-6,6'-piperazine-1,4-diylbis(methylene)-bisphenol (L5H2) and N',N',N'',N''-tetrakis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)-1,2-ethanediamine, and the products were identified as follows: [{L1}Sn]2 (1), [{L2}Sn] (2), [{L3}Sn] (3), [{L4}Sn], (4) and [{L6}Sn2]·(Py)2 (5). Reaction of complex (1) with O2 results in the formation of the Sn(IV) species [{L1}2Sn] (6), the molecular structure of which was also determined.

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

02:51Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

The reaction begins with an attack of the nucleophile on the carbon that holds the leaving group. This results in the delocalization of the π electrons over the ring carbons. The resonance interaction between...
