Self-assembly syntheses and crystal structures of triphenyltin(IV) phenylphosphate: A 1D polymer and a dimer of 24-membered macrocycle

Two novel organotin(IV) complexes of the types [(Ph3Sn)(4)(O3POPh)(2)](n) 1 and [(Ph(3)Su)(6)(O3POPh)(3)](2) 2 have been prepared by treatment of phenylphosphoric acid and the Ph3SnCl under different conditions. The complexes I and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR (H-1,C-13,Sn-19) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography diffraction analysis. The structure analyses reveal that complex I is an infinite ID polymer and complex 2 is a dimer which contains two 24-membered macrocycles. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
