Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveal that compound 1 is monomeric, compound 2 consists of both a monomer and a dimer, while compound 3 is a coordination polymer for which two modifications 3A and 3B were identified. The 119Sn NMR chemical shifts measured in CDCl3 solutions indicate five-coordinate tin atoms for 1–3. Further, compounds 1 and 2 were found to be highly selective for sensing hydrogen sulfide in UV/Vis channel in CH3CN/H2O (9:1) media. The development of orange red color is likely the results of a Brønsted-type acid-base reaction of H2S with compounds 1 and 2, respectively, giving di-n-butyltin sulfide and the corresponding pro-ligands H2L1 and H2L2, respectively. Theoretical calculations accompany the experimental work.enEuropean journal of inorganic chemistry;Vol. 2020, Issue18, pp 1803-1813https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/TinLigands with azo-imino groupsStructure elucidationSensing studies540article (journal)
