Seven N-substituted salicylideneiminatotriphenyltin(IV) chelated complexes of general formula Ph 3 SnL' [HL' = o-HOC 6 H 4 CH=NC 6 H 4 R (R = CI, Me, OMe, COMe) and o-HOC6H 3 (OMe)CH=NC6H 4 Cl] have been synthesized by the reaction of triphenyltin(IV) chloride and Narylsalicylideneimines in benzene in presence of triethylamine as Lewis base. The complexes are characterized by Infrared, NMR ('Η and ll9 Sn) spectroscopy in addition to elemental analyses. Molecular weight determination in chloroform show them to be monomeric and five coordinated trigonal bipyramidal geometry is proposed for the organotin(IV) complexes.
