TRIHYDROCARBYLTIN COMPLEXES OF TRANSITION METAL CYANIDES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)83507-X

Cationic single-bridged trinuclear cyano complexes are obtained by treating trihydrocarbyltin perchlorate (SnR3O2ClO2) (R=alkyl or aryl) with neutral transition metal monocyanides, whereas treatment with the corresponding neutral or anionic transition metal polycyanides gives neutral single-bridged polymeric cyano compounds.In every case the tin atoms are pentacoordinated with the three R groups in the equatorial and two CN groups (or, respectively one CN and one OClO3 group) in the axial position of a trigonal bipyramid.
