The behaviour of polydentate hydrazonic ligands derived from 2-acetylpyridine towards organotin compounds: Part II. The monoorganotin(IV) complexes

The study of the reactivity of the ligands bis(2-acetylpyridine)thiocarbonohydrazone (H2apt), 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (Hapts) and 2-acetylpyridine semicarbazone (Haps) towards monoorganotin(IV) compounds was carried out; all the new derivatives were spectroscopically (IR, 1H-NMR and Mössbauer) characterised. The X-ray crystal structures of [(n-Bu)Sn(Hapt)Cl2]·1.5H2O, [PhSn(Hapt)Cl2]·C2H5OH·H2O and [PhSn(aps)Cl2] were reported and a comparison was made with the already characterised diorganotin complexes of the same ligands.
