The set of four triorganotin(IV) fluorides of general formula {2-[(CH3)2NCH2]C6H4}R2SnF, where R is Me (5), n-Bu (6), t-Bu (7), and Ph (8), respectively, has been prepared and characterized using NMR and ESI-MS techniques. The structures of crystalline compounds 5 and 8 were determined using X-ray methods. All compounds are monomeric both in solution using different solvents and in the solid state. The tin central atom is five-coordinated with all carbon atoms in equatorial positions and fluorine and nitrogen, from the intramolecularly coordinated dimethylamino group, in the axial positions of the distorted trigonal bipyramid. The ability of compounds 6 and 8 to perform fluorination of organometallic chlorides was tested on titanocene dichloride. A quantitative yield of Cp2TiF2 was obtained.

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.
