Synthesis and characterization of an 8-membered ringlet and a novel sodium organotin carboxylic polymer

Two completely different organotin complexes were synthesized by different methods basing on the same materials. Characterizations of the complexes were achieved by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (1H, 13C and 119Sn) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography diffraction analysis. X-ray data revealed that complex 1 was an 8-membered cycle and complex 2 was a novel mixed sodium organotin carboxylic polymer. It is worth to note that X-ray diffraction study reveals that complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1, which is chiral space group.
