Abstract

The synthesis and structural characterization of the layered diorganotin coordination polymers nBu2Sn(HL)(OSO2Me) (1) and nBu2Sn(HL1)(OSO2Me) (2) derived from the silaalkylphosphonic acids RR12Si(CH2)3P(O)(OH)2 [R = Ph, R1 = Me (H2L); R = R1 = Et (H2L1)] are presented. The structure of H2L exhibits O-H···O hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions to form a unique three-dimensional supramolecular assembly in the solid state. The asymmetric units of 1 and 2 are composed of centrosymmetric eight-membered [-Sn-O-P-O-]2 cyclic rings with appended sulfonate groups, which provide layered connectivity to the structures. For 1, the presence of C-H···π interactions between the dangling phenyl rings of the silaalkyl chains favors a lamellar arrangement with an interlayer spacing of 16.9 Å. Upon exposure to humid conditions, these polymers undergo slow transformation to nBu2Sn[O3P(CH2)3SiRR12] with the elimination of methanesulfonic acid.
