Synthesis of N, N-dialkyl dithiocarbamate triphenyltin(IV) and crystal structures of Ph₃SnS₂CN(C₂H₅)₂ and Ph₃SnS₂CN (C₅H₁₀)

Abstract

Eleven triphenyltin(IV) complexes with N,N-dialkyl dithiocarbamate ligands have been synthesized by the reaction of triphenyltin chloride with N,N-dialkyl dithiocarbamates and characterized by elemental analysis, UV, IR and ¹H NMR. The crystal structures of Ph₃SnS₂CN(C₂H₅)₂ and Ph₃SnS₂CN (C₅H₁₀) have been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction, their structures show a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration with five-coordination for the central tin atoms.
