A dimeric tin(IV) complex derived from the reaction of 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)benzothiazole with tin(II) chloride
摘要:
The condensation of 2-methoxybenzaldehyde with 2-aminothiophenol resulted in the formation of 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)benzothiazole (1), which, when reacted with anhydrous tin(II) chloride, led to the ring-opening of 1 via C-S bond rupture followed by complexation of the resulting ligand to the tin atom via the nitrogen and sulphur atoms. This gives rise to the dimeric tin(IV) complex [di-mu-methoxytetrachlorobis(2-methoxyphenyl-methyl-2-mercaptophenylamino(1-)-N,S]ditin(IV) (2), in which the methoxy oxygen atoms bridge the two tin moieties. X-ray diffraction studies were performed on 1 and 2 and the results are discussed.
