Crystal structure of trichloroacetatotrivinyltin and Mössbauer spectroscopic characterization of trivinyl- and divinyl-n-butyltin carboxylates

Abstract

The structure of the title compound has been determined by X-ray analysis. It consists of Sn(CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2)3(O2CCCl3) units linked by synanti trichloroacetate bridges giving five-co-ordinate tin atoms. The compound crystallizes in space group I2/a with a= 16.686(9), b= 10.267(6), c= 15.866(9)Å, β= 107.08(8), and Z= 8. A comparison of these structural data with those available for SnMe3(O2CMe), SnMe3(O2CCF3), and Sn(CH2Ph)3(O2CMe) reveals that distortions of the SnC3 group and the asymmetry of the two Sn–O distances are in the order benzyl > vinyl > methyl. The influence of the vinyl groups around the tin atom has also been examined by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Mössbauer parameters of two series of compounds, Sn(CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2)3(O2CR′) and SnBu(CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2)2(O2CR′)(R′= Me, CH2Br, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3, or CF3), have been determined. The quadrupole-splitting data, compared with those available for other series of organotin carboxylates having a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, are consistent with the structural information. These values decrease with increasing distortion and asymmetry of the lattice.
