Synthesis and characterization of some monoorganotin(IV) chloride adducts with internally functionalized oximes: Crystal and molecular structures of nBuSnCl3 · HONC(Me)Py-2 · C6H5Me and a trinuclear hydroxo bridged stannoxane {nBuSnCl2(ONC(Me)Py-2)O

Reactions of RSnCl3 (R = Et & nBu) with internally functionalized oximes in anhydrous benzene afforded non-ionic fibrous complexes of the general formula RSnCl3 · nHONC(R′)Ar [R = Et & Bu; R′ = H, Me n = 1 & 2; Ar = 2-NC5H4, 2-OC4H3]. The crystal and molecular structures of one of the adducts nBuSnCl3 · HONC(Me)Py-2 · C6H5Me and of a trinuclear hydroxo bridged stannoxane {nBuSnCl2 (ONC(Me)Py-2)OH}2 SnnBuCl · 0.5 HONC(Me)Py-2, obtained on hydrolysis of nBuSnCl3 · 2HONC(Me)Py-2, revealed a distorted octahedral environment around tin with the participation of both nitrogen atoms (ring as well as oxime nitrogen atom of the same ligand moiety) in coordination.
