Water-soluble organotin compounds

Abstract

Herein, we report the syntheses of the water-soluble organotin compounds [{Me2(H)N(CH2)3}2SnX2]Y2 (1, X = Cl, Y = ClO4; 2, X = F, Y = ClO4) and {Me2(H)N(CH2)3}2SnX4 (3, X = Cl; 4, X = F). The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, electrospray mass spectrometry, 1H, 13C, 19F, and 119Sn NMR spectroscopy, and in the case of compounds 1, 3 and 4, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The reaction of compound 2 with fluoride anions in water was investigated by NMR spectroscopy. DFT calculations accompany the experimental work.
