Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Two-Dimensional Network Polymer Containing 18- and 26-Membered Organotin Macrocycles
ABSTRACT
The reaction of 4-mercaptophenylacetic acid with dimethyltin dichloride in the presence of sodium ethoxide in ethanol affords a novel two-dimensional organotin network structure compound 1, which is an unusual network containing dinuclear 18-membered and tetranuclear 26-membered organotin macrocycles. The compound has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and 1H, 13C, and 119Sn NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, we have also characterized the compound by X-ray crystallography.
