Most of the early work was concerned with the reactions of tin(II)chloride in dilute hydro chloric acid with an aromatic or aliphatic amine, or with an amino-acid in the same solventv( 1-5). More recently, Davies and co-workers^) prepared some tin(II)chloride complexes of the platinum metals in which the SnCl^ anion acts as an electron pair donor. Tin(ll)chloride is also an excellent reducing agent and as such has wide application in a number of organic reactions(50) Prom ah inorganic viewpoint, however, the reactions of tin(II) chloride in non-aqueous solution have been largely neglected. Compounds have been reported with diethyl ether (51), and 1 , Jj-dioxane(52). Two recent papers have been concerned with (7) some novel complexes. The first was on the reaction of carbonyl - TT - cyclopentadienyl complexes of iron, molybdenum, and tungsten with tin(ll)chlorlde. In the second(3l), a series of phthalocyano-tin complexes was prepared using tin(ll )chloride as a starting material. There has been no systematic study, however, of the reactions of this compound with donor molecules. The purpose of this present study, then was twofold. First, it was desired to determine the scope of the reactions of tin(ll)chloride with - 1 - 2 donor species in a variety of non-aqueous solvents. Second; the properties of a number of the resulting complexes were to be studied using infra-red; x-ray powder diffraction; and con ductance techniques. This work !.s divided into three chapters and an appendix. The first two chapters deal with the reactions of tin(ll)chloride with particular types of compounds: Chapter I. reactions with alcohols; Chapter II; reactions with nitrogen and oxygen-con taining compounds. Each of the chapters includes preparation., properties; and structural studies of the complexes, and also / includes an experimental section for detailed preparations of complexes prepared in that chapter. Chapter III is a general experimental section where techniques applicable to the whole study are included. The appendix contains tables of data not included in the main body of the thesis. Also included in the appendix is a section on the preparation and properties of ammonium hexafluorostannate, and a survey of the reactions of tin(lV) compounds with 9>10-phenanthrenequinone. 3 CHAPTER I SOME ALKOXIDE COMPOUNDS OP DIVALENT TIN The metal alkoxides constitute an Important class of compounds containing a metal-oxygen-carbon bonding system. Two excellent reviews of metal alkoxides have been written by Bradley(10-H). Prior to the start of this work, Bradley(l^) had reported on the alkoxides of tetravalent tin but there was only one mention of an alkoxide compound of tin(ll). Meerwein and Geschke^S), in a study of the pyrolysis of tetra- ethoxy tin reported the formation of tin(II)ethoxide according to the equation Sn( OC2 H5 )ij - Sn(0C2 H5 )2 + CH3CHO +■ C2 H 50H '(!) While our work was in progress, Amberger and Kula(8-9) reported the preparation of tin(II)methoxide by the following reaction: SnBr 2 +2Na ( OCH 3) - Sn ( OCH 3 )2 -+- 2NaBr (2) Prior to the appearance of these reports,, we had attempted unsuccessfully to prepare tin(II)methoxide using this reaction but had decided to look for another method because large volumes of methanol were needed to wash the sodium bromide out of the methoxide. Also, the product we obtained from reaction (2) was not the simple methoxide but a hydrolysis product. Accordingly, it was decided to try the reaction SnCl2 + 2 (02115)3?* + 2 CH3O H Sn (OCH3 ) 2 + 2 (C2 H5)NHC1 (3 ) Using
