“…This mode of coordination with exo cyclic tin atoms results in penta coordination, trigonal bi-pyramidal geometry [25]. Such behavior of tetraorganotin(IV) compounds were reported by Pervez et al [6,17,18,21] as centro-symmetric skew trapezoidal bi-pyramidal geometry for the endo-cyclic tin status while the exo-cyclic tin status are in distorted trigonal bi-pyramidal geometry. The 119m Sn Mössbauer spectra displayed quadrupole splitting values over the range of 3.41 mm s À1 , which is greater than the 2.1 mm s À1 value reported in the literature [9,16,29] for a trans octahedral geometry around tin atom of monomer diorganotin dicarboxylate complexes Similarly, Gielen et al [15] reported trans octahedral geometry of monomer type compounds (Fig.…”
