As reações de 2-acetilpiridina-N(4)-feniltiosemicarbazona, HAP4P, e 2-hydroxiacetofenona-N(4)-feniltiosemicarbazona, H2DAP4P, com R4-mSnXm (m = 2, 3; R = Me, nBu, Ph e X = Cl, Br) levaram à formação de complexos organoestânicos hexa- e penta-coordenados, que foram estudados por análise elementar, espectroscopias no IV, RMN de ¹H e Mössbauer. As estruturas moleculares dos complexos [SnMe2(DAP4P)] e [Sn nBu2(DAP4P)] foram determinadas por análises de difração de raios X. Nos compostos [SnClMe2(AP4P)] e [SnBrMe2(AP4P)], o ligante desprotonado AP4P- está N,N,S-ligado aos átomos de Sn(IV) que exibem cordenação octaédrica fortemente distorcida. As estruturas dos complexos [SnMe2(DAP4P)] e [Sn nBu2(DAP4P)] revelaram que o ânion DAP4P2- age como um ligante O,N,S-tridentado. Nestes casos os átomos de Sn(IV) adotam coordenação com geometria bipiramidal trigonal fortemente distorcida, com o átomo de N e os dois átomos de C no plano equatorial, enquanto que os átomos de O e S ocupam as posições axiais.
The reactions of 2-acetylpyridine-N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone, HAP4P, and 2-hydroxyacetophenone-N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone, H2DAP4P, with R4-mSnXm (m = 2, 3; R = Me, nBu, Ph and X = Cl, Br) led to the formation of hexa- and penta-coordinated organotin(IV) complexes, which were studied by microanalysis, IR, ¹H-NMR and Mössbauer spectroscopies. The molecular structures of [SnMe2(DAP4P)] and [Sn nBu2(DAP4P)] were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In the compounds [SnClMe2(AP4P)] and [SnBrMe2(AP4P)], the deprotonated ligand AP4P- is N,N,S-bonded to the Sn(IV) atoms, which exhibit strongly distorted octahedral coordination. The structures of [SnMe2(DAP4P)] and [Sn nBu2(DAP4P)] revealed that the DAP4P2- anion acts as a O,N,S-tridentate ligand. In these cases, the Sn(IV) atoms adopt a strongly distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration where the azomethine N and the two C atoms are on the equatorial plane while the O and the S atoms occupy the axial positions.
