Synthesis, structure and calculated NLO properties of [(n-Bu)2Sn-μ-O-μ-OH-Sn(n-Bu)2(CH3CO2)]2 and its putative derivatives

An attempt for isolating [n-Bu2Sn Ni(CDC)2] by reacting Ni(O2CCH3)2 , K2CDC (CDC2− = cyanodithioimidocarbonate) and n-Bu2SnCl2 instead, yielded [(n-Bu2)Sn-μ-O-μ-OH-Sn(n-Bu2)(O2CCH3)]2 supramolecular aggregate, NLO property of this and its putative derivatives investigated theoretically by finite field perturbation method.
