Preparation, Mössbauer and vibrational spectra of diorganotin chromates and carbonates
Dimethyltin chromate and basic dimethyltin and diphenyltin carbonates have been isolated for the first time. Structural features of these compounds, as well as of the previously known basic dimethyltin chromate, have been investigated by examining their infrared, Raman, and Mössbauer spectra. Infrared, Raman, and Mössbauer spectra of [Me2Sn(NCS)]2O have also been examined, and by comparing its spectroscopic data with those for (Me2Sn)2OCrO4, (Me2Sn)2OCO3, and (Ph2Sn)2O(CO3), possible structures have been suggested for the latter compounds. From the combined infrared and Mössbauer data, a structure is also proposed for Me2SnCrO4. All compounds are indicated to have polymeric structures with bridging CrO42− or CO32−.
