“…Coordination between Sn and organic moieties via 0 atoms gives rise to the following structures, two in the cis positions: (i) SnC14.2OPPh3 (Tursina, Aslanov, Medvedev & Yatsenko, 1985) and (ii) SnC14. (4-p-'BuC6H4CHO)2 (Denmark, Henke & Weber, 1987); and three in the trans positions: (iii) SnC14.2Me2N2PO (Aslanov, Ionov, Attiya, Permin & Petrosyan, 1977), (iv) SnC14.4C6HI~OH, with binding through O atoms of two of the cyclohexanol molecules (Fournet & Theobald, 1981) and (v) SnCI4.2C~IHI202, with binding through the carbonyl O atoms of ethyl cinnamate moieties (Lewis, Oxman & Huffman, 1984). Coordination between Sn and crown ether complexes via HzO gives rise to organic moieties located in the cis positions: (vi) SnCl4.18-crown-6.4H20 (Valle, Cassol & Russo, 1984) and (vii) SnCl4.18-crown-6.4H20.-CHC13 (Cusack, Patel, Smith, Allen & Nowell, 1984); and in the trans positions: (viii) SnC14.15-crown-5.-2H20 (Hough, Nicholson & Vasudevan, 1986 Introduction.…”
