ABSTRACT
Complexes of the composition R4-nSnLn (R=Me, Et, Bu, Ph, Bz, n=1 and 2, and L=2-(6-methoxynaphthyl)propionic acid anion have been synthesized by the reaction of tri- and diorganotin halides with the silver salt of 2-(6-methoxynaphthyl)propionic acid in dry chloroform. Conductance data show that the complexes are non-electrolytes. Structural assignments were made on the basis of spectral studies (FTIR, 1H, 13C, 119Sn NMR, mass and UV-Vis spectroscopy).
