13C and 119Sn NMR spectra of diphenyl- and dibenzyltin(IV) compounds have been studied in solutions of coordinating and non-coordinating solvents. Regions of values of the δ(119Sn) chemical shifts have been determined which characterize individual types of coordination of the central tin atom. The values of 13C NMR spectral parameters, the δ(13C) chemical shifts and nJ(119Sn, 13C) coupling constants, have been used to describe the real shapes of coordination sphere of the central tin atom and to discuss the internal structure of the organic substituents and of the nature of their bonding linkage to the tin atom.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
