Conclusion
The study successfully characterized a new di-n-butyltin diisothiocyanate compound with a unique octahedral geometry.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound features two independent molecules on a twofold rotation axis.
- The tin atoms exhibit a slightly distorted octahedral coordination.
- Colorless crystals were obtained after several days of crystallization.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new tin compound and found it has a special shape that helps it connect with other molecules.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by mixing dibutyltin diisothiocyanate and 1,10-phenanthroline in dry methanol at 333 K.
