N-butyltin perchlorates and methanesulfonates, their complexes with pyridine and 2,2´ bipyridine

Abstract

Tri-n-butyltin(IV) and di-n-butyltin(IV) methanesulfonates and perchlorates were prepared and reacted with pyridine (py) and 2,2´-bipyridine (bipy). The complexes are formed by dibutyltin bis(methanesulfonate) with bipy (1:1), tributyltin perchlorate with py or bipy (both 1:1), and dibutyltin bis(perchlorate) with py or bipy (both 1:2). The compounds prepared were studied by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. The reaction of bis(tributyltin) oxide with aqueous solution of perchloric acid is mentioned as well.
