Reaction of Sn(II) Adduct with MCl₂ [M = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II)]

Abstract

Complexes of SnCl₂ · py with MCl₂, where M = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II), have been prepared and characterized by the elemental analysis, TGA, DTA, EPR, and IR spectra. All the compounds prepared are stable at room temperature but they are hygroscopic in nature. Substitution reactions of SnCl₂ · py(MCl₂) by dithiocarbamate afforded (SnCl₂ · py)₂M(dtc)₂. An octahedral geometry for the metal dithiocarbamates has been proposed.
