Complexes of organometallic compounds. XLVIII. Mössbauer and other studies on pyrazine derivatives of tin(IV) compounds. A relationship between isomer shift and charge on tin

Abstract Adducts RSnCl 3 ·pyz (R = Me, Bu n , Oct n , Ph; pyz = pyrazine) have been synthesized and characterized in the solid state. It has been determined that RSnCl 3 ·pyz are polymeric compounds, where the ligand acts as bridging bis-monodentate and the tin atoms attain the coordination number six. This has been duduced from: i) temperature dependent Mossbauer spectroscopy; ii) the correlation between Mossbauer isomer shift, δ, and electrical charge on tin, Q Sn , concerning pyrazine adducts of RSnCl 3 and others; iii) an infrared study of the coordinated ligand in RSnCl 3 ·pyz. Other implications of the Mossbauer T dependent study ( e.g. , the decrease of the Debye temperature in RSnCl…
