Self-assembly syntheses and crystal structures of triorganotin(IV) pyridinecarboxylate: 1D polymers and a 42-membered macrocycle

A series of new triorganotin(IV) pyridinecarboxylates with 6-hydroxynicotinic acid, 5-hydroxynicotinic acid and 2-hydroxyisonicotinic acid have been synthesized. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, TGA, IR and NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) spectroscopy analyses. Among them, except for complexes 5 and 6, all complexes were also characterized by X-ray crystallography diffraction analysis.
