| Abstract
| - New α,ω-bis(trichlorostannyl)alkanes, Cl3Sn(CH2)nSnCl3 [n = 3−5, 8], have been synthesized. The neutral and basic hydrolysis pathways of the n = 3 series, leading to polymeric product [H2O(OH)Cl2Sn(CH2)3SnCl2(OH)H2O·2H2O]n, have been investigated in both solution and the solid state.
- New α,ω-bis(trichlorostannyl)alkanes, Cl3Sn(CH2)nSnCl3 [n = 3−5, 8], have been synthesized via tin−phenyl bond cleavage reactions on α,ω-bis(triphenylstannyl)alkanes, Ph3Sn(CH2)nSnPh3 [n = 3−5, 8], using either SnCl4 or concentrated hydrochloric acid. Some keymissing links, (H2O)Cl3Sn(CH2)3SnCl3(H2O) (1a) and (H2O)2Cl3Sn(CH2)3SnCl3(H2O)2 (6), inthe hydrolysis pathway of organotin trichlorides were identified. Crystal structures of thenonassociated di-tin compounds (H2O)Cl3Sn(CH2)3SnCl3(H2O) (1a) and (H2O)2Cl3Sn(CH2)3SnCl3(H2O)2 (6, isolated as the 18-crown-6 cocrystal acetonitrile solvate) as well as thepolymeric hydrolysis product [H2O(OH)Cl2Sn(CH2)3SnCl2(OH)H2O·2H2O]n (7·2H2O) arereported.
