Abstract
Some new triphenyltin(IV) complexes with semicarbazones and thiosemicarbazones of the general formula Ph3SnCl.L (L = semicarbazone or thiosemicarbazone of salicylaldehyde, o-hydroxynaphthaldehyde, 2-methoxybenzaldehyde, 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, furfuraldehyde, o-hydroxyacetophenone, benzyl methyl ketone and benzil) have been synthesized and characterised on the basis of elemental analysis, conductance measurements, IR, 1HNMR and electronic spectral studies. An octahedral structure has been proposed for all these complexes.
