Abstract Reactions of 5-[( E )-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]-2-hydroxybenzoic acids (LHH′, where the aryl group is an R-substituted phenyl ring such that for L 1 HH′: X = H; L 2 HH′: X=2′-OCH 3 ; L 3 HH′: X = 3′-CH 3 ; L 4 HH′: X = 4′-CH 3 ; L 5 HH′:X = 4′-Cl) with n Oct 2 SnO in 2:1 and 1:1 molar ratios have been investigated. Two types of complexes, n Oct 2 Sn(LH) 2 and {[ n Oct 2 Sn(LH)] 2 O} 2 , were isolated and they have been characterized by 1 H, 13 C, 119 Sn NMR, ESI-MS, IR and 119m Sn Mossbauer spectroscopic techniques in combination with elemental analyses. The crystal structures of n Oct 2 Sn(L 1 H) 2 ( 1 ), {[ n Oct 2 Sn(L 2 H)] 2 O} 2 ( 3 ) and {[ n Oct 2 Sn(L 3 H)] 2 O} 2 ( 4 ) were determined. The mononuclear complex 1 was found to adopt a skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal arrangement around the tin atom while 3 and 4 are centrosymmetric tetranuclear bis(dicarboxylatotetrabutyldistannoxane) complexes containing a planar Sn 4 O 2 core in which two μ 3 -oxo O-atoms connect an Sn 2 O 2 ring to two exocyclic Sn-atoms. The solution structures were confirmed by 119 Sn NMR spectroscopy by observing one tin resonance in compound 1 and two tin resonances in {[ n Oct 2 Sn(L 5 H)] 2 O} 2 ( 5 ). {[ n Oct 2 Sn(L 2 H)] 2 O} 2 ( 3 ) and {[ n Oct 2 Sn(L 3 H)] 2 O} 2 ( 4 ) undergo very complex exchange processes in deuteriochloroform solution, which has been confirmed by variable temperature 1 H NMR spectroscopy. The cleavage of the most labile bond in the molecule was studied by ESI mass spectrometry.
