Abstract
The bis(4-tert-butylphenolato)dichlorotin(IV) complex of composition SnCl 2 (OC 6 H 4 Bu t -4) 2 (1) has been synthesized by the reaction of tin tetrachloride with bimolar amount of 4-t-butylphenol in benzene under reflux and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, molecular weight determination, IR, 1 H, 13 C NMR and FAB mass spectral techniques. Thermal behaviour of the complex has been investigated using TG-DTA technique. Lewis acid character of (1) has been explored by isolating its addition compounds with some nitrogeneous bases viz. diethylamine, triethylamine, imidazole, benzimidazole (L); 2,2'-bipyridyl, and 1,10-phenanthroline (B) of composition, SnCl 2 (OC 6 H 4 Bu t -4) 2· 2L and SnCl 2 (OC 6 H 4 Bu t -4) 2· B, characterized by physicochemical and IR spectral studies.
