Tin(IV) Complexes with Tridentate Diacidic Ligands By template reactions including bis(acetylacetonato)-dichloro-tin(IV) and O-aminophenol as well as o-aminothiophenol, benzoylhydrazine, and thiobenzoylhydrazine the tin chelates of tridentate diacidic ligands containing ligator atoms were prepared. To characterize the compound, IR, UV-VIS and Mössbauer spectroscopy were used. Crystal structure analyses demonstrate the existence of disturbed octahedral structures. Bis[acetylacetonbenzoylhydrazonato(2-)]tin(IV): space group P21/c, Z = 4, 2501 observed unique reflections, R = 0.045. Lattice dimensions at 20°C: a = 992.3, b = 2405.5, c = 1071.8pm, β = 116.94°. Bis[acetylacetonthiobenzoylhydrazonato(2-)] tin(IV): space group P21/c, Z = 4, 3603 observed unique reflections, R= 0.029. Lattice dimensions at 20°C: a = 1581.5, b = 947.8, c = 1644.9pm, β = 90.32°.
