An octanuclear Cd–Sn–(µ4-O)2 complex with bridging acetate and neopentoxide groups: [Cd4Sn4(µ4-O)2(O2CMe)10(OCH2But)10]
Abstract
Cadmium acetate and tin(IV) tetraneopentoxide react in tetrahydrofuran to form [Cd4Sn4(µ4-O)2(O2CMe)10(OCH2But)10] containing an 8-membered, Cd4O4 planar ring with cadmium ions bridged by acetates and further linked in pairs by µ4-oxo, acetate, and neopentoxide bridges to two tin(IV) atoms which in turn are bridged by neopentoxide and acetate groups.
