Effect of pseudohalogen groups on the optical properties and the structures of diorganotin coordination compounds based on the flexible ligand 1,2,3,4-tetra-(4-pyridyl)-butane

To investigate the effect of pseudo‐halogen groups on the structure and optical properties of diorganotin(IV) coordination compounds the reaction of dimethyltin diisothiocyanate and dimethyltin dichloride with 1,2,3,4‐tetra‐ (4‐pyridyl)‐butane (TPB) were studied. The results of spectroscopic data and structural analyses of prepared compounds showed that the reaction of Me 2 SnCl 2 with TPB ligand leads to the formation of a 2D organotin(IV)...
