Abstract

From studies of the SnX₄-thf reaction system (thf = tetrahydrofuran; X = F, Cl, Br, I) we have established adduct formation, SnX₄(thf)₂ for X = Cl (I) and Br (II) but recovery of unchanged starting materials for X = F and I. X-ray crystallography confirms a six coordinate structure with regular octahedral metal geometry for both (I) and (II) with the two solvent (thf) molecules in a mutually trans-arrangement in each case. Modelling studies of the cis-/ trans- isomers of SnX₄(thf)₂ where X = Cl, Br and of SnCl₄(H₂O)₂ have been carried out and comparisons drawn with the observed structural chemistry of these systems.
