Synthesis and infrared studies of tri- and diorganotin(IV) derivatives of benzilic acid

Some triorganotin benzilates, R3SnB (R= CH3, C2H5, C3H7 and C6H5, B= (C6H5)2C(OH)COO(1-)) and diorganotin dibenzilates, R2SnB2 (R= CH3, C2H5 and n-C4H9) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and i.r. spectra.The i.r. data indicate that the triorganotin benzilates are tetracoordinated monomers in the solid state thus suggesting that the steric hindrance between the benzilate ion and the organotin moiety is sufficient to prevent formation of polymers.The diorganotin dibenzilates on the other hand have a cis-R2SnCl2 or distorted octahedral structure.
