Syntheses and crystal structures of triorganotin(IV) complexes of schiff base derived from 4‐amino‐5‐phenyl‐4H‐1,2,4‐trizole‐3‐thiol

Four triorganotin complexes of the types [(Ph₃Sn)(C₁₅H₁₀FN₄S)] ( 3 ), [(CH₃)₃Sn(C₁₅H₁₀FN₄S)]_n ( 4 ), [(Ph₃Sn)(C₁₃H₉FN₄S₂)] ( 5 ), and [(CH₃)₃Sn(C₁₃H₉FN₄S₂)]_n ( 6 ) have been obtained by Schiff base compound 1 (derived from 4‐fluorobenzaldehyde) and compound 2 (derived from thiophene‐2‐carboxadehyde) with triorganotin chloride in the presence of sodium ethoxide. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and NMR spectroscopies, and X‐ray diffraction analyses, which revealed that complexes 3 and 5 are mononuclear structures, complex 4 and 6 are one‐dimensional zigzag infinite chains via N → Sn and S → Sn bonding interactions. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Organotin(IV) Carboxylates of Substituted α‐Cinnamic Acid,RnSn(OCOC(R2)=CHR1)4 – n: Synthesis,Spectroscopic Characterization and Biological Evaluation

Di‐ and triorganotin(IV) carboxylates, R_nSn(OCOC(R²)=CHR¹)_4–n (n = 2 and 3; R = Me, Et, n‐Bu, Ph; R¹ = 3‐CH₃O‐4‐OHC₆H₃, R² = C₆H₅) were prepared by reacting the corresponding organotin(IV) chloride with the silver salt of the (E)‐3‐(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxyphenyl)‐2‐phenylpropenoic acid. The title compounds were investigated and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (FT‐IR), multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR, and mass spectrometry, and possible structures were proposed. The complexes and ligand acid ( HL ) have been evaluated in vitro against various bacteria and fungi. The results noticed during the biocidal activity screenings proved their in vitro biological potential. They were also tested for cytotoxicity.     

Ecofriendly synthesis,antimicrobial and antispermatogenic activity of triorganotin(IV) complexes with 4′‐nitrobenzanilide semicarbazone and 4′‐nitrobezanilide thiosemicarbazone

New series of triorganotin(IV) complexes with 4′‐nitrobenzanilide semicarbazone (L¹H) and 4′‐nitrobenzanilide thiosemicarbazone (L²H) of the type [R₃Sn(L)] (R = ‐CH₃, ‐C₆H₅ and n‐C₄H₉) were synthesized under microwave irradiation. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, molecular weight determinations and spectral data, viz., IR, UV–vis, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR. The central tin atoms of these complexes are all five‐coordinated with trigonal bipyramidal geometry. In order to assess their growth inhibitory potency semicarbazone, thiosemicarbazone and their triorganotin(IV) complexes were tested in vitro against some pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Also the ligands and their organotin(IV) complexes were studied to assess the effects of long‐term ingestion of these compounds on fertility, body and reproductive organ weights. The biochemical analyses were also performed on blood samples and reproductive organs of male rats. The findings have been presented in this paper. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The synthesis,NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) and IR spectral studies of some di‐ and tri‐organotin(IV) sulfonates: X‐ray crystal structure of [(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OSO2C6H4CH3‐4)2·2H2O]

A number of alkyltin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, R_nSn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)_4?n (n = 2, 3; R = C₂H₅, n‐C₃H₇, n‐C₄H₉), have been prepared and IR spectra and solution NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) are reported for these compounds, including (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), the NMR spectra of which have not been reported previously. From the chemical shift δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere in solutions of these compounds is suggested. IR spectra of the compounds are very similar to that observed for the paratoluenesulfonate anion in its sodium salt. The studies indicate that diorganotin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, and the previously reported compounds (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), contain bridging SO₃X groups that yield polymeric structures with hexacoordination around tin and contain non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. In triorganotin(IV) sulfonates, pentacoordination for tin with a planar SnC₃ skeleton and bidentate bridging paratoluenesulfonate anionic groups are suggested by IR and NMR spectral studies. The X‐ray structure shows [(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)₂·2H₂O] to be monomeric containing six‐coordinate tin and crystallizes from methanol–chloroform in monoclinic space group C2/c. The Sn? O (paratoluenesulfonate) bond distance (2.26(2) Å) is indicative of a relatively high degree of ionic character in the metal–anion bonds. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Crystal Engineering with Oxo‐ and Cyanocarbon Anions: Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Triorganotin(IV) Pentacyanopropenides and Hexacyanoazapentadienides

The first triorganotin(IV) pentacyanopropenides, [R₃Sn(H₂O)₂][C₃(CN)₅] (R = Me ( 2 ), nBu ( 3 ), Ph ( 4 ) were prepared by treatment of Ag[C₃(CN)₅] ( 1 ) with equimolar amounts of R₃SnCl in reagent grade THF. In a similar manner, dark red [R₃Sn(H₂O)₂][N{C(CN)C(CN)₂}₂] ( 6 ) containing the hexacyanoazapentadienyl anion was prepared in 55 % yield. The molecular structure of [Ph₃Sn(H₂O)₂][C₃(CN)₅] ( 4 ) was determined by X‐ray diffraction. The crystal structure consists of separated trigonal‐bipyramidal [Ph₃Sn(H₂O)₂]⁺ cations and nearly planar [C₃(CN)₅]^– anions which are linked through O–H ··· N hydrogen bonds to give a three‐dimensional network.     

Less Is More: Three‐Coordinate C,N‐Chelated Distannynes and Digermynes

We report here the synthesis of new C,N‐chelated chlorostannylenes and germylenes L³MCl (M=Sn( 1 ), Ge ( 2 )) and L⁴MCl (M=Sn( 3 ), Ge ( 4 )) containing sterically demanding C,N‐chelating ligands L^{3, 4} (L³=[2,4‐di‐tBu‐6‐(Et₂NCH₂)C₆H₂]^?_; L⁴=[2,4‐di‐tBu‐6‐{(C₆H₃‐2′,6′‐iPr₂)N=CH}C₆H₂]^?). Reductions of 1 – 4 yielded three‐coordinate C,N‐chelated distannynes and digermynes [L^{3, 4}M ]₂ for the first time ( 5 : L³, M=Sn, 6 : L³, M=Ge, 7 : L⁴, M=Sn, 8 : L⁴, M=Ge). For comparison, the four‐coordinate distannyne [L⁵Sn]₂ ( 10 ) stabilized by N,C,N‐chelate L⁵ (L⁵=[2,6‐{(C₆H₃‐2′,6′‐Me₂)N?CH}₂C₆H₃]^?) was prepared by the reduction of chlorostannylene L⁵SnCl ( 9 ). Hence, we highlight the role of donor‐driven stabilization of tetrynes. Compounds 1 – 10 were characterized by means of elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and in the case of 1 , 2 , 5 – 7 , and 10 , also by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The bonding situation in either three‐ or four‐coordinate distannynes 5 , 7 , and 10 was evaluated by DFT calculations. DFT calculations were also used to compare the nature of the metal–metal bond in three‐coordinate C,N‐chelating distannyne [L³Sn]₂ ( 5 ) and related digermyme [L³Ge]₂ ( 6 ).     

Synthesis,characterization and in vitro antitumour activity of di‐ and tri‐organotin derivatives of fenbufen

The di‐ and tri‐organotin derivatives of fenbufen (4‐(4‐biphenyl)‐4‐oxobutyric acid), [{(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OCOCH₂CH₂COC₆H₄C₆H₅‐4)}₂O]₂ ( 1 ) and R₃SnOCOCH₂CH₂COC₆H₄C₆H₅‐4 (R?C₆H₅, 2 ; c‐C₆H₁₁, 3 ; C₆H₅C(CH₃)₂CH₂, 4 ), have been prepared and characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopies. The crystal structure of 1 , bis[4‐(4‐biphenyl)‐4‐oxobutyrato]tetra‐n‐butyldistannoxane, has been determined and it is a centrosymmetric dimer with two distinct types of carboxylate moieties and tin atoms with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries. The in vitro antitumour activity of 1 and 2 against two human tumour cell lines was found to be higher than that for cis‐platin used clinically. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Tri‐ and diorganotin(IV) derivatives of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug sulindac: Characterization,electronic structures (DFT), DNA binding and plasmid cleavage studies

Tri‐ and diorganotin(IV) derivatives of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug sulindac ( Sul ), coordinated with carboxylate oxygen, namely C₂₃H₂₅FO₃SSn ( 1 ), C₃₈H₃₁FO₃SSn ( 2 ), C₃₂H₄₃FO₃SSn ( 3 ), C₅₂H₄₂F₂O₆S₂Sn ( 4 ), C₄₄H₄₄S₂Cl₂O₆F₂Sn₂ ( 5 ), C₄₈H₅₀F₂O₆S₂Sn ( 6 ) and C₅₆H₆₆F₂O₆S₂Sn ( 7 ), have been synthesized and characterized using analytical and spectroscopic (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and ESI‐MS) techniques. Optimized geometry and electronic structures of the complexes obtained from density functional theory calculations indicate that complexes 1 , 2 , 3 and 7 are tetra‐coordinated with monodentate carboxylates, 4 and 6 are hexa‐coordinated with highly distorted octahedral geometry, whereas 5 is penta‐coordinated with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Probable mode of DNA binding with ligand ( Sul ) and complexes 1 – 7 has been revealed via various biophysical techniques (UV–visible spectroscopy, fluorometry and circular dichroism). Intrinsic binding constants (K _b) obtained from UV–visible spectroscopy for Sul and complexes 1 – 7 are 3.69 × 10⁴, and 7.3 × 10³, 1.14 × 10⁴, 1.47 × 10⁴, 1.55 × 10⁴, 1.49 × 10⁴, 2.02 × 10⁴, 1.17 × 10⁴ M⁻¹, respectively. The quenching constants (K _sv) using fluorometric titrations, calculated from competitive binding of ethidium bromide versus Sul /complexes with calf thymus DNA, also correspond to the above results. Circular dichroism spectral patterns of calf thymus DNA with Sul and complexes 1 – 7 have also been investigated. All the results reveal that the complexes bind with DNA through partial intercalative mode. pBr322 plasmid fragmentation has also been studied using gel electrophoresis, which shows the fragmentation of circular DNA by an increase in nicked form and also by the appearance of linear form with increasing concentration of drug or complexes.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Semi-Empirical Study of Organotin(IV) Complexes with 4-(Hydroxymethyl)piperidine-1-carbodithioic Acid: X-Ray Structure of Chlorodimethyl-(4-hydroxymethyl piperidine-1-carbodithioato-S,S′)tin(IV)

Abstract

Organotin complexes with the general formulae R₂SnL₂, R₂Sn(Cl)L, and R₃SnL have been synthesized where R = CH₃, n-C₄H₆, C₆H₅, C₆H₁₁, and L = 4-(hydroxy methyl)piperidine-1-carbodithioic acid. The newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn), and, for one example, a single crystal x-ray structure. The FT-IR data shows the bidentate nature of the ligand. This coordination behavior is also confirmed by semi-empirical study. In the solid state, diorganotin complexes exhibit the penta/hexacoordinated geometry, whereas the triorganotin(IV) complexes show the five coordinated geometry. ¹¹⁹Sn NMR data reveal that triorganotin(IV) complexes exhibit the four coordinated geometry in solution, whereas the diorganotin(IV) compounds show the higher coordination, probably five or six. X-ray diffraction analysis of complex (2) shows a square pyramidal geometry around the tin atom on the basis of τ value.

Twelve new germanium substituted diphenyltin dipropionates with the general formula (R¹GeCHR²‐CHR³COO)₂SnPh₂ where R¹ = N(CH₂CH₂O)₃, (C₆H₅)₃ and (CH₃C₆H₄)₃, R² = H, CH₃, C₆H₅, p‐CH₃C₆H₄, p‐CH₃OC₆H₄, p‐ClC₆H₄, and R³ = H, CH₃ have been synthesized by the reaction of diphenyltin oxide with a germanium substituted propionic acid. All the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, multi‐nuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR and Mössbauer spectroscopies as well as mass spectrometry. The in vitro antibacterial activity of selected compounds is also reported.     

Syntheses,characterizations, crystal structures,and in vitro antitumor activities of chiral triorganotin(IV) complexes containing (S)-(+)-2-(4-isobutyl-phenyl)propionic and (R)-(+)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionic acid ligands

Four new chiral triorganotin(IV) carboxylates, [(R₃Sn)(O₂C₁₃H₁₇)] _n (R?=?Me 1, Ph 2), [(R₃Sn)(O₂C₁₃H₁₇)] (R?=?n-Bu 3), and [(R₃Sn)(O₄C₉H₉)] _n (R?=?Me 4), have been synthesized by reaction of (S)-(+)-2-(4-isobutyl-phenyl)propionic acid and (R)-(+)-2-(4hydroxyphenoxy)propionic acid with triorganotin(IV) chloride in the presence of sodium ethoxide. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectra, and X-ray crystallography diffraction analyses. Structural analyses show that 1 has a 1-D infinite chiral zigzag chain structure. Complexes 2 and 4 have a 1-D spring-like chiral helical chain with a channel, while 3 is a monomer. Antitumor activities of 1–4 have been studied.     

Synthetic and Structural Studies on the Cyclic Bis(amino)stannylenes Sn[(NR)2C10H6‐1, 8] and their Reactions with SnCl2 or Si[(NCH2But)2C6H4‐1, 2] (R = SiMe3 or CH2But)

Treatment of {HNR}₂C₁₀H₆‐1, 8 [R = SiMe₃ ( 1 ), CH₂Bu^t ( 2 )] with Sn[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ afforded the cyclic stannylene Sn[{NR}₂C₁₀H₆‐1, 8] [R = SiMe₃ ( 3 ), CH₂Bu^t ( 4 )]. From 3 and SnCl₂ in THF and crystallisation from toluene, the product was the crystalline tetracyclic compound ( 5 ) as the (toluene)_0.5‐solvate. Reaction of 4 with the silylene Si[(NCH₂Bu^t)₂C₆H₄‐1, 2] ( 6 ) [abbreviated as Si(NN)] in benzene and crystallisation in presence of Et₂O furnished the crystalline tricyclic complex Sn[{Si(NCH₂Bu^t)₂C₆H₄‐1′, 2′}₂‐{(NCH₂Bu^t)₂C₁₀H₆‐1, 8}] ( 7 ) as the Et₂O‐solvate. Complex 5 slowly dissociated into its factors 3 and SnCl₂ in toluene, but rapidly in THF. Solutions of 7 in C₆D₆, C₇D₈ or THF‐d₈, studied by multinuclear, variable temperature NMR spectroscopy, revealed the presence of an equilibrium between 8 (an isomer of 7 , in which the skeletal atoms of the eight‐membered ring were , rather than the of 7 ) and 4 + 2 Si(NN), with 8 dominant in PhMe but not in THF; additionally 8 was shown to be fluxional and solutions of 8 in C₆D₆ or C₇D₈ decomposed to give the silane Si(NN)[(NCH₂Bu^t)₂C₁₀H₆‐1, 8], 6 and Sn metal. The X‐ray structures of 3 , 5 and 7 are presented.     

Synthesis,structural characterization,and properties of triorganotin complexes of Schiff base derived from 3-aminobenzoic acid and salicylaldehyde or 2,4-pentanedione

Six new triorganotin 3-(salicylideneamino)benzoates ( 1a – 1c ) and 3-(4-oxo-2-penten-2-ylamino)benzoates ( 2a – 2c ), 3-(2-HOC₆H₄CH=N)C₆H₄COOSnR₃, and 3-(CH₃COCH=C(CH₃)NH)C₆H₄COOSnR₃ (R = Ph, a ; Cy, b ; Bu, c ) have been synthesized by one-pot reaction of 3-aminobenzoic acid, salicylaldehyde (or 2,4-pentanedione), and triorganotin hydroxide and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectra. The crystal structures of 1a , 1b , and 2a – 2c have been determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1a and 2a exhibit a 44-membered macrocyclic tetramer and a polymeric zigzag chain, respectively, in which tin atoms show trans-[C₃SnO₂] trigonal bipyramidal geometry with the axial positions being occupied by the carboxylate oxygen atom and the phenolic (or ketone) oxygen atom from another ligand. Complex 1b adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry at tin, and there are two molecules differing in the relative orientation of the carboxylate toward the imino group. Compounds 2a ⋅CH₃OH, 2b ⋅H₂O, and 2c ⋅H₂O are five-coordinated mononuclear adducts with one coordinated solvent molecule and display different supramolecular organizations in which there are the centrosymmetric R₂²(16), R₄²(22), and R₆⁴(34) macrocycle motifs formed by the O–H⋅⋅⋅O, N–H⋅⋅⋅O, and C–H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds. The fluorescence spectrum indicates that the complexes may be explored for potential blue luminescent materials. Compared to cisplatin, these compounds exhibit enhanced cytotoxic efficacy and can be considered as anticancer agents for further study.     

Synthesis,spectral and antimicrobial studies of triorganotin(IV) 3(2′-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-substituted phenyl) pyrazolinates

Triorganotin(IV) pyrazolinates of the type R₃Sn(C1₅H₁₂N₂O?·?X) [where C₁₅H₁₂N₂O?·?X?= 3(2′-hydroxyphenyl)-5(4-X-phenyl)pyrazoline {where X?=?H (a); CH₃ (b); OCH₃ (c); Cl (d) and R?=?Me, Pr ⁿ and Ph}] have been synthesized by the reaction of R₃SnCl with the sodium salt of pyrazolines in a 1?:?1 molar ratio, in anhydrous benzene. These newly synthesized derivatives have been characterized by elemental analysis (C, H, N, Cl and Sn), molecular weight measurement as well as spectral studies [IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn)]. The bidentate behaviour of the ligands was confirmed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data. Trigonal bipyramidal structure around tin(IV) atom for R₃Sn(C₁₅H₁₂N₂O?·?X) has been suggested. The free pyrazoline and a few triorganotin(IV) pyrazolinates have also been screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Some triorganotin(IV) pyrazolinates exhibit higher antibacterial and antifungal effects than free pyrazoline and some of the antibiotics.     

Two succinic acid derivatives of 2‐ethyl‐6‐methylpyridin‐3‐ol

Crystals of bis(2‐ethyl‐3‐hydroxy‐6‐methylpyridinium) succinate–succinic acid (1/1), C₈H₁₂NO⁺·0.5C₄H₄O₄²⁻·0.5C₄H₆O₄, (I), and 2‐ethyl‐3‐hydroxy‐6‐methylpyridinium hydrogen succinate, C₈H₁₂NO⁺·C₄H₅O₄⁻, (II), were obtained by reaction of 2‐ethyl‐6‐methylpyridin‐3‐ol with succinic acid. The succinate anion and succinic acid molecule in (I) are located about centres of inversion. Intermolecular O—H...O, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds are responsible for the formation of a three‐dimensional network in the crystal structure of (I) and a two‐dimensional network in the crystal structure of (II). Both structures are additionally stabilized by π–π interactions between symmetry‐related pyridine rings, forming a rod‐like cationic arrangement for (I) and cationic dimers for (II).     

Synthesis and characterization of dimeric organotin compounds {[(ArCH2)2 Sn(2‐quin)]2O}2 and crystal structure of {[(2‐ClC6 H4CH2)2Sn(2‐quin)]2O}2

Ten new dimeric organotin compounds {[(ArCH₂)₂ Sn(2‐quin)]₂O}₂ (Ar = Ph 1 , 2‐ClC₆H₄ 2 , 3‐ClC₆H₄ 3 , 4‐ClC₆H₄ 4 , 2‐FC₆H₄ 5 , 3‐FC₆H₄ 6 , 4‐FC₆H₄ 7 , 4‐BrC₆H₄ 8 , 4‐CNC₆H₄ 9 , 2,4‐Cl₂C₆H₃ 10 ) have been synthesized by dealkylation reactions of 2‐quinH with [(ArCH₂)₃Sn]₂O, and their structures have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR (¹}H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopies. The structures of {[(2‐ClC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn(2‐quin)]₂O}₂ 2 have been determined by X‐ray diffraction. Studies show that compound 2 has a tetranuclear, centrosymmetric dimeric structure, with the endo‐cyclic tin atom five‐coordinated and the exo‐cyclic tin atom six coordinated. Studies also show that the nitrogen atoms of the 2‐quin ligand are coordinating to the tin atom for all the ten compounds. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis,crystal structure,and characterization of dimeric tetraorganodistannoxane and two tricyclohexyltin carboxylates

Three diorganotin(IV) series and triorganotin(IV) complexes, [(C₆H₁₁)₂Sn]₄(L₁)₂O₂(OH)₂ (1), (C₆H₁₁)₃Sn(HL₂) (2), and (C₆H₁₁)₃SnL₃ (3) (where HL₁ is 2-(4-isopropyl benzoyl) benzoic acid, H₂L₂ is phthalic acid and HL₃ is 2-benzoyl benzoic acid), were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined. There are four crystallographically unique Sn centers in the structure of 1, which consists of a Sn₄O₂(OH)₂ ladder unit, and the ladder consists of four tins held together by two µ₃-oxygens and two µ₂-oxygens. The supermolecular motif of 1 is a 2-D structure linked by O–H ··· O hydrogen bonds. The asymmetric unit of 2 contains two crystallographically independent monomers. The supramolecular architecture of 2 is a 2-D layer structure linked by face-to-face π–π interactions between phenyl rings of adjacent L₂ anions. The structure of 3 contains one tricyclohexyltin cation and one L₃ anion. The Sn ··· O interactions lead the whole structure to a supramolecular chain. Elemental analysis, infrared, and ¹H NMR of 1–3 were investigated and discussed.     

Four 7‐aryl‐substituted pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2,4(1H,3H)‐diones: similar molecular structures but different crystal structures

Molecules of 1,3‐dimethyl‐7‐(4‐methylphenyl)pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2,4(1H,3H)‐dione, C₁₆H₁₅N₃O₂, (I), are linked by paired C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form centrosymmetric R₂²(10) dimers, which are linked into chains by a single π–π stacking interaction. A single C—H...O hydrogen bond links the molecules of 7‐(biphenyl‐4‐yl)‐1,3‐dimethylpyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2,4(1H,3H)‐dione, C₂₁H₁₇N₃O₂, (II), into C(10) chains, which are weakly linked into sheets by a π–π stacking interaction. In 7‐(4‐fluorophenyl)‐3‐methylpyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2,4(1H,3H)‐dione, C₁₄H₁₀FN₃O₂, (III), an N—H...O hydrogen bond links the molecules into C(6) chains, which are linked into sheets by a π–π stacking interaction. The molecules of 7‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐3‐methylpyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2,4(1H,3H)‐dione, C₁₅H₁₃N₃O₃, (IV), are also linked into C(6) chains by an N—H...O hydrogen bond, but here the chains are linked into sheets by a combination of two independent C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds.     

Synthesis,characterization and crystal structures of 2-[(E)-2-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1-diazenyl]benzoic acid and its polymeric and monomeric triorganotin(IV) complexes

Three triorganotin(IV) complexes of composition R₃SnLH (R = Me, Bu and Ph and LH = 2-[(E)-2-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1-diazenyl]benzoate) have been synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, and IR spectroscopic techniques in combination with elemental analysis. The crystal structures of the carboxylate ligand HO₂CC₆H₄{NN(C₆H₂-4-OH-3,5-(CH₃)₂)}-o in its neutral form and three triorganotin(IV) complexes, viz., polymeric (R₃Sn[O₂CC₆H₄{N–N(H)(C₆H₂-4-O-3,5-(CH₃)₂)}-o])_n (R = Me (1) and Bu (2)) and monomeric Ph₃Sn[O₂CC₆H₄{N–N(H)(C₆H₂-4-O-3,5-(CH₃)₂)}-o] (3) complexes are reported. The polymeric complexes 1 and 2 exist as extended chains in which the LH-bridged Sn-atoms adopt a trans-R₃SnO₂ trigonal bipyramidal configuration with R groups in the equatorial positions and the axial sites occupied by an oxygen atom from the carboxylate ligand and the phenoxide O atom of the next carboxylate ligand. The Sn atom in complex 3 has a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In all three complexes, the carboxylate ligand is in the zwitterionic form with the phenolic proton moved to the nearby azo nitrogen atom, in contrast to the free carboxylic acid ligand which is in the azo form.     

Triorganotin(IV) complexes containing multifunctional meso‐dimercaptosuccinic acid ligand: Syntheses,characterizations, and crystal structures

Four triorganotin complexes of the types [(R₃Sn)₂(C₂H₂S₂)(COOH)₂] ⋅ 2Et₂O (R = Ph, 1 ) and (R₃Sn)₂(C₂H₂S₂)(COOH)₂ (R = Me 2 , R = n‐Bu 3 , and R = PhCH₂ 4 ) have been obtained by the reaction of meso‐dimercaptosuccinic acid and sodium ethoxide with triorganotin(IV) chloride in 1:2:2 stoichiometry. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by X‐ray diffraction analyses, which revealed that complexes 1 and 2 are mononuclear structures and further interlinked by intermolecular C H⋅⋅⋅O and O H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds, respectively. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
