Synthesis and Characterisation of Triphenyltin Complexes of Arylazophenol and Naphthols

Abstract

Co-ordinative interaction of triphenyltin chloride with arylazophenols containing different substituents in the diazo-component have been studied. Arylazophenols from two types of complexes, viz., organotin adducts of the type Ph₃SnCl. LH and organotin phenoxides of type Ph₃Sn. L. The spectroscopic data suggest that the adducts are hexa-coordinated while phenoxides are penta-coordinated. These complexes have been characterised by analytical, i.r. and ¹H n.m.r., Mössbauer and electronic absorption spectral data.
