Fifteen new complexes have been prepared of the type (R3Sn)2L, where L is the dianion of 1,2-bis(2'-carboxyphenylamino)-ethane and -propane, and ethylenediaminetetracaetic acid, and R is Me, n-Pr, n-Bu, Ph, or cyclohexyl(Cy).Characterisation by IR, 1H NMR and 119Sn Moessbauer spectroscopy indicates that the ligands are bound only through oxygen.In most cases the carboxylates are bidentate and the tin five-coordinate.The Ph3Sn and Cy3Sn derivatives contain tetrahedral tin, with monodentate carboxylates.
