Abstract

Complexes, (H2NCOCH2CH2-C,O)(L)SnCl3 (2: L = XCH2CH2CONH2; X = H or Cl), rather than (H2NCOCH2CH2-C,O)SnCl3, have been isolated from reaction mixtures containing hydrochloric acid, tin and acrylamide in Et2O solution. Ligand exchange reactions occur between (2: L = EtCONH2) and HCONMe2 or HCONHBu. The anionic complex, [pyridinium][(H2NCOCH2CH2-C,O)SnCl4], 3, was isolated from a reaction mixture composed of pyridine and 2. In both complex types, 2 and 3, tin is hexacoordinate, in which the octahedral geometries are somewhat distorted due to variations in the Sn—Cl bond lengths, exemplifying the trans effect, and the small bite angles of the chelating (2-amidoethyl-C,O) ligand. The supramolecular structures are dominated by intermolecular hydrogen-bonds with the NH2 groups as the donor species. A feature of each crystal structure is a double chain in which the NH2 group of the (2-amidoethyl-C,O) ligand acts as donor for N—H···X (X = Cl or O) intermolecular hydrogen-bonds.
