Synthesis,structure and biological activity of organotin derivatives with pyridylmethylthiobenzoic acid

Reaction of 2-(2-pyridylmethylthio)benzoic acid (1) with R₂SnO (R = Et or ⁿBu) in a 1:1 molar ratio gives the dimeric compounds {[(2-PyCH₂SC₆H₄CO₂)SnR₂]₂O}₂. A similar reaction of 2-(4-pyridylmethylthio)benzoic acid (2) with Et₂SnO yields an analogous result. However, treatment of 2 with ⁿBu₂SnO in a 1:1 molar ratio only gives the diorganotin dicarboxylate (4-PyCH₂SC₆H₄CO₂)₂Sn(ⁿBu)₂. X-ray crystal structure analyses indicate that the pyridyl nitrogen atoms do not coordinate to the tin atoms in the dimer, whilst in the diorganotin dicarboxylate the tin atom has a seven-coordinate distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry, and this compound forms a linkage coordination polymer through the interactions of the pyridyl nitrogen atoms with the adjacent tin atoms. In addition, treatment of 1 or 2 with (Ph₃Sn)₂O in a 2:1 molar ratio affords triphenyltin carboxylates, in which the tin atoms also show different coordination environments. In the solid state, triphenyltin 2-(2-pyridylmethylthio)benzoate is a monomer and the pyridyl nitrogen atom does not participate in coordination to the tin atom either, while the interactions between the pyridyl nitrogen atoms and the adjacent tin atoms link triphenyltin 2-(4-pyridylmethylthio)benzoate into a coordination polymer. Preliminary in vitro tests for fungicidal activity show that all these compounds display good activity to Physolospora piricola in a low concentration. Moreover, the triphenyltin carboxylates show a higher inhibition percentage than the diorganotin carboxylates.     

氮芥苯甲酸氧化二丁基锡复合物的合成、晶体结构及其体外抗癌活性研究

Di-n-butyltin oxide reacted with p-[N,N-bis（2-chloroethyl）amino]benzoic acid to yield the compounds {{4-[（ClCH2CH2）2N]C6H4COOSnBu2}2O}2 （1） and {4-[（ClCH2CH2）2N]C6H4COO}2SnBu2 （2）, which have been characterized by IR and ^1H NMR spectra. The X-ray diffractional studies of 1 reveal the structure of the molecule to be a dimer, in which the two Bu2Sn groups were linked via two bridging oxygen atoms to form a central Bu4Sn2O2 unit. And the tin atom adopts two carbons from two n-butyl groups and three oxygen atoms from the acid and the bridging oxygen. In vitro test showed compound 1 to exhibit high cytotoxicity against P388 and HL-60 cell lines.     

Synthesis and Structure of the First Stannadisiloxanediol: [Me2N(CH2)2]2Sn(OSit‐Bu2OH)2. A Potential Precursor for the Preparation of Multi Component Oxides

The synthesis of [Me₂N(CH₂)₂]₂Sn(OSit‐Bu₂OH)₂ ( 1 ) by the base‐assisted cohydrolysis of [Me₂N(CH₂)₂]₂SnCl₂ and t‐Bu₂SiCl₂ is described. The molecular structure of 1 , determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis, features a pentacoordinated tin atom owing to the intramolecular coordination of the nitrogen atom of one 3‐dimethylaminopropyl group, and reveals both intramolecular Si(Sn)O···H‐O and intermolecular N···H‐O hydrogen bonding. Compound 1 is a rare example of a metallasiloxanol and holds potential for the preparation of multi component oxide materials.     

Synthesis and Reactivity of Boron‐, Silicon‐, and Tin‐Bridged ansa‐Cyclopentadienyl–Cycloheptatrienyl Titanium Complexes (Troticenophanes)

A novel one‐pot method was developed for the preparation of [Ti(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(η⁷‐C₇H₇)] (troticene, 1 ) by reaction of sodium cyclopentadienide (NaCp) with [TiCl₄(thf)₂], followed by reduction of the intermediate [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)₂TiCl₂] with magnesium in the presence of cycloheptatriene (C₇H₈). The [n]troticenophanes 3 (n=1), 4 , 8 , 10 (n=2), and 11 (n=3) were synthesized by salt elimination reactions between dilithiated troticene, [Ti(η⁵‐C₅H₄Li)(η⁷‐C₇H₆Li)] ? pmdta ( 2 ) (pmdta=N,N′,N′,N′′,N′′‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine), and the appropriate organoelement dichlorides Cl₂Sn(Mes)₂ (Mes=2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl), Cl₂Sn₂(tBu)₄, Cl₂B₂(NMe₂)₂, Cl₂Si₂Me₄, and (ClSiMe₂)₂CH₂, respectively. Their structural characterization was carried out by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The stanna[1]‐ and stanna[2]troticenophanes 3 and 4 represent the first heteroleptic sandwich complexes bearing Sn atoms in the ansa bridge. The reaction of 3 with [Pt(PEt₃)₃] resulted in regioselective insertion of the [Pt(PEt₃)₂] fragment into the Sn? C_ipso bond between the tin atom and the seven‐membered ring, which afforded the platinastanna[2]troticenophane 5 . Oxidative addition was also observed upon treatment of 4 with elemental sulfur or selenium, to produce the [3]troticenophanes [Ti(η⁵‐C₅H₄SntBu₂)(η⁷‐C₇H₆SntBu₂)E] ( 6 : E=S; 7 : E=Se). The B? B bond of the bora[2]troticenophane 8 was readily cleaved by reaction with [Pt(PEt₃)₃] to form the corresponding oxidative addition product [Ti(η⁵‐C₅H₄BNMe₂)(η⁷‐C₇H₆BNMe₂)Pt(PEt₃)₂] ( 9 ). The solid‐state structures of compounds 5 , 6 , and 9 were also determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

A rare octacoordinated mononuclear iron(III) spin‐crossover compound: synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties

The chemistry of transition‐metal complexes with unusually high coordination numbers has been of interest because of their application in catalytic and biological systems. Deprotonation of the ionogenic tetradentate ligand 6,6′‐bis(1H‐tetrazol‐5‐yl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine [H₂bipy(ttr)₂] in the presence of iron(III) and tetra‐n‐butylammonium bromide, [n‐Bu₄N]Br, in solution resulted in the synthesis of a rare octacoordinated anionic mononuclear complex, tetra‐n‐butylammonium bis[6,6′‐bis(tetrazol‐1‐id‐5‐yl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine]iron(III) methanol hemisolvate dihydrate, (C₁₆H₃₆N)[Fe(C₁₂H₆N₁₀)₂]·0.5CH₃OH·2H₂O or [n‐Bu₄N][Fe{bipy(ttr)₂}₂]·0.5CH₃OH·2H₂O ( 1 ), which has been structurally characterized by elemental analysis, powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In 1 , the coordination sphere of the iron(III) ion is a distorted bis‐disphenoid dodecahedron, in which the eight coordination positions are occupied by eight N atoms from two independent tetradentate [bipy(ttr)₂]^2? anionic ligands, therefore forming the anionic [Fe{bipy(ttr)₂}₂]^? unit, with the negative charge balanced by a free [n‐Bu₄N]⁺ cation. An investigation of the magnetic properties of 1 revealed a gradual incomplete spin‐crossover behaviour below 150 K.

Ansa‐Complexes of [Mn(η5‐C5H5)(η6‐C6H6)]: Preparation,Characterization, and Reactivity of [n]Manganoarenophanes (n=1, 2, 3)

We report the synthesis of [n]manganoarenophanes (n=1, 2) featuring boron, silicon, germanium, and tin as ansa‐bridging elements. Their preparation was achieved by salt‐elimination reactions of the dilithiated precursor [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄Li)(η⁶‐C₆H₅Li)]?pmdta (pmdta=N,N,N′,N′,N′′‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) with corresponding element dichlorides. Besides characterization by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, the identity of two single‐atom‐bridged derivatives, [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] and [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SiPh₂], could also be determined by X‐ray structural analysis. We investigated for the first time the reactivity of these ansa‐cyclopentadienyl–benzene manganese compounds. The reaction of the distannyl‐bridged complex [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)Sn₂tBu₄] with elemental sulfur was shown to proceed through the expected oxidative addition of the Sn?Sn bond to give a triatomic ansa‐bridge. The investigation of the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) capability of [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] with [Pt(PEt₃)₃] showed that an unexpected, unselective insertion into the C_ipso?Sn bonds of [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] had occurred.     

Orthorhombic modification of tri­phenyl­tin 3‐ureidopropionate

The Sn atom in catena‐poly­[tri­phenyl­tin(IV)‐μ‐(3‐ureidopropionato‐O¹:O³)], [Sn(C₆H₅)₃(C₄H₇N₂O₃)]_n, is five‐coordinate and has a trans‐C₃SnO₂ trigonal‐bipyrmidal geometry arising from bridging through the O atom of the ureido fragment of an adjacent carboxyl­ate group. Infinite chains propagate helically along the c axis and adjacent chains are linked by N—H?O [N?O 2.851 (4) Å] hydrogen bonds into layers.     

A Novel Tetranuclear Organotin(IV) Carboxylate with Chain Structure: Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Characterizations

A new tetranuclear organotin carboxylate {[(n‐Bu₂SnO)₂L]₂}_n (complex 1 ) was synthesized by the reaction of di‐n‐butyltin oxide with (p‐carboxymethoxy‐phenoxy) acetic acid (LH₂) and characterized by elemental analyses: IR, UV–visible, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X‐ray study. X‐ray crystallography diffraction data revealed that the complex 1 was polymeric fashion with a chain structure containing a ladder‐like tetranuclear organo‐oxotin cluster. In the complex 1 , the ligand LH₂ is coordinated to the central tin(IV) atoms via the carboxylato‐O atoms. The tetranuclear tin system is formed by the bridges through the carbonyl oxygen atom of the carboxylate moieties and making the tin atom of pentacoordinated in distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Single crystal X‐ray data indicate that the complex 1 crystallized in the cubic system with the space group C₂/c.     

Synthesis and characterization of di‐n‐butyltin(IV) complexes with 4′/2′‐nitrobiphenyl‐2‐carboxylic acids: X‐ray crystal structures of [{(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OCOC12H8NO2−4′)}2O]2 and (n‐C4H9)2Sn{OCOC12H8NO2−4′}2

Reactions of di‐n‐butyltin(IV) oxide with 4′/2′‐nitrobiphenyl‐2‐carboxylic acids in 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 stoichiometry yield complexes [{(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OCOC₁₂H₈NO₂?4′/2′)}₂O]₂ ( 1 and 2 ) and (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OCOC₁₂H₈NO₂?4′/2′)₂ ( 3 and 4 ) respectively. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy. The IR spectra of these compounds indicate the presence of anisobidentate carboxylate groups and non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. From the chemical shifts δ (¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination number of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere have been suggested. [{(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OCOC₁₂H₈NO₂?4′)}₂O]₂ ( 1 ) exhibits a dimeric structure containing distannoxane units with two types of tin atom with essentially identical geometry. To a first approximation, the tin atoms appear to be pentacoordinated with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. However, each type of tin atom is further subjected to a sixth weaker interaction and may be described as having a capped trigonal bipyramidal structure. The diffraction study of the complex (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OCOC₁₂H₈NO₂?4′)₂ ( 3 ) shows a six–coordinate tin in a distorted octahedral frame containing bidentate asymmetric chelating carboxylate groups, with the n‐Bu groups trans to each other. The n‐Bu? Sn? n‐Bu angle is 152.8° and the Sn? O distances are 2.108(4) and 2.493(5) Å. The oxygen atom of the nitro group of the ligand does not participate in bonding to the tin atom in 1 and 3 . Crystals of 1 are triclinic with space group P1 and of that of 3 have orthorhombic space group Pnna. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Crystallographic report: Di(o‐chlorobenzyl)tin(IV) bis(N‐methylpiperazinyldithiocarbamate)

The tin atom in {(2‐Cl‐C₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn[S₂CN(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₃]₂}₂ is in a skew‐trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry defined by a C₂S₄ set with C? Sn? C 150.61(19)°. Centrosymmetric pairs associated via weak Sn·S to form a dimer. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

S,N‐Chelated organotin(IV) compounds containing 6‐phenylpyridazine‐3‐thiolate ligand—structural,antibacterial and antifungal study

A series of tri‐ and diorganotin(IV) compounds containing potentially chelating S,N‐ligand(s) (L^SN, where L^SN is 6‐phenylpyridazine‐3‐thiolate) were prepared and structurally characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. X‐ray diffraction techniques were used for determination of the structure of compounds containing one [(L^SN)Ph₂SnCl], two [(n‐Bu)₂Sn(L^SN)₂] and the combination of two L^SN and one L^CN [(L^CN)(n‐Bu)Sn(L^SN)₂] (where L^CN is {2‐[(CH₃)₂NCH₂]C₆H₄}‐) ligands. The coordination number of the tin atom varies from five to seven and is dependent on the number of chelating ligands present. The formation of the five‐membered azastanna heterocycle is favored over the formation of four‐membered azastannathia heterocycle in compounds containing both types of ligands. The di‐n‐butyl‐substituted compounds are the most efficient ones in inhibition of growth of yeasts, molds and G⁺ bacteria strains. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The tin atom in the solid-state structure of {2-[(CH₃)₂NCH₂]C₆H₄}nBu₂SnF is five coordinated with carbon atoms in equatorial and fluorine and nitrogen atoms in axial positions. The fluorination of {2-[(CH₃)₂NCH₂]C₆H₄}nBuSnCl₂ is described by NMR methods. The successful attempts to fluorinate various chlorosilanes, chlorophosphine and metal halides are also reported.     

Synthesis,structure and cytotoxic activity of binuclear phenyltin(IV) complexes with N,N′‐bis(2‐hydroxybenzyl)‐1,2‐ethanebis(dithiocarbamate) ligand

Two new dinuclear phenyltin(IV) complexes derived from N,N′‐bis(2‐hydroxybenzyl)‐1,2‐ethanebis(dithiocarbamate) ligand, [2‐HOC₆H₄CH₂N(CS₂SnPh₃)CH₂]₂ ( 1 ) and [2‐HOC₆H₄CH₂N(CS₂SnClPh₂)CH₂]₂ ( 2 ) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectra. The crystal structures of complexes 1 and 2 were determined by X‐ray single crystal diffraction and show that the dithiocarbamate ligand is coordinated to the tin atom in the anisobidentate manner and the tin atom is five‐coordinated. The coordination geometry of tin atom is best described as an intermediate between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal with τ‐values of 0.63 and 0.53, respectively. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds (O H···S and O H···Cl) in 1 and 2 connect neighboring molecules into a one‐dimensional supramolecular chain with the centrosymmetric cyclic motifs. Complex 1 has potent in vitro cytotoxic activity against two human tumor cell lines, CoLo205 and Bcap37, while complex 2 displays weak cytotoxic activity.

Crystallographic report: Di(p‐chlorobenzyl)tin bis(N‐methylpiperazinyldithiocarbamate)

The tin atom in (4‐Cl‐C₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn[S₂CN(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₃]₂ is in a C₂S₄ skew‐trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry with the two carbon atoms being disposed over the weaker Sn? S bonds. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Dilithium Hexaorganostannate(IV) Compounds

Hypercoordination of main‐group elements such as the heavier Group 14 elements (silicon, germanium, tin, and lead) usually requires strong electron‐withdrawing ligands and/or donating groups. Herein, we present the synthesis and characterization of two hexaaryltin(IV) dianions in form of their dilithium salts [Li₂(thf)₂{Sn(2‐py^Me)₆}] (py^Me=C₅H₃N‐5‐Me) ( 2 ) and [Li₂{Sn(2‐py^OtBu)₆}] (py^OtBu=C₅H₃N‐6‐OtBu) ( 3 ). Both complexes are stable in the solid state and solution under inert conditions. Theoretical investigations of compound 2 reveal a significant valence 5s‐orbital contribution of the tin atom forming six strongly polarized tin–carbon bonds.     

Coordination behaviour of the 2‐(N,N‐dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl ligand towards the di‐t‐butylchlorotin(IV) moiety

{2‐(N,N‐Dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl}(di‐t‐butyl)tin(IV)chloride, {2‐[(CH₃)₂NCH₂]C₆H₄}Sn(t‐Bu)₂ Cl, has been prepared and characterized using NMR and crystallography. This is the first example of a triorganotin(IV) halide containing the 2‐[(CH₃)₂NCH₂]C₆H₄—group as a C,N‐chelating ligand with a weak intramolecular Sn—N interaction because of the steric hindrance of t‐butyl groups. The interatomic Sn—N distance is elongated to 2.904(14) Å and the central tin atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Crystallographic report: Bis[3‐(tri‐p‐tolyl)germyl‐3‐(o‐tolyl)‐propionato]dibutyltin(IV)

The crystal structure of [(p‐CH₃C₆H₄)₃GeCH(o‐CH₃C₆H₄)CH₂CO₂]₂Sn(C₄H₉)₂ consists of a monomer with the atoms of tin and germanium both occupying tetrahedral geometries. However, the tin atom is distorted towards a skew trapezoidal bipyramid geometry as a result of weakly chelating carboxylate ligands. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Heteroleptic [n]Chromoarenophanes: ansa Complexes Derived from [Cr(η5‐C5H5)(η6‐C6H6)]

The synthesis of ansa complexes has been studied intensively owing to their importance as homogeneous catalysts and as precursors of metal‐containing polymers. However, paramagnetic non‐metallocene derivatives are rare and have been limited to examples with vanadium and titanium. Herein, we report an efficient procedure for the selective dilithiation of paramagnetic sandwich complex [Cr(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(η⁶‐C₆H₆)], which allows the preparation of a series of [n]chromoarenophanes (n=1, 2, 3) that feature silicon, germanium, and tin atoms at the bridging positions. The electronic and structural properties of these complexes were probed by X‐ray diffraction analysis, cyclic voltammetry, and by UV/Vis and EPR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic parameters for the strained and less strained complexes (i.e., with multiple‐atom linkers) indicate that the unpaired electron resides primarily in a d orbital on chromium(I); this result was also supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We did not observe a correlation between the experimental UV/Vis and EPR data and the degree of molecular distortion in these ansa complexes. The treatment of tin‐bridged complex [Cr(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] with [Pt(PEt₃)₃] results in the non‐regioselective insertion of the low‐valent Pt⁰ fragment into the C_ipso? Sn bonds in both the five‐ and six‐membered rings, thereby furnishing a bimetallic complex. This observed reactivity suggests that ansa complexes of this type are promising starting materials for the synthesis of bimetallic complexes in general and also underline their potential to undergo ring‐opening processes to yield new metal‐containing polymers.     

Crystal and Molecular Structure of [2,6‐(Me2NCH2)2C6H3]2SnF2, an Intramolecularly Coordinated Diorganotin Difluoride

Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of [2,6‐(Me₂NCH₂)₂C₆H₃]₂SnF₂ reveals that only one of the two dimethylaminomethyl groups of each pincer‐type ligands [2,6‐(CH₂NMe₂)₂C₆H₃]^? is coordinated to the tin atom at Sn‐N distances of 2.576(2) and 2.470(2) Å, inducing chirality of the latter. The tin atom exhibits a distorted octahedral trans(C,C)cis(N,N)cis(F,F) configuration. Extensive intra‐ and intermolecular C‐H···F hydrogen bonding is observed with the latter giving rise to formation of polymeric chains.
