Dialkyltin(IV)bis(O-tolyl/benzyldithiocarbonate) complexes: spectroscopic, thermogravemetric, antifungal and crystal analysis of n-Bu2Sn(S2COCH2C6H5)2.

Novel compounds of dimethyl- and dibutyltin(IV) with O-tolyl/benzyldithiocarbonates were successfully obtained by the reaction of Me(2)SnC(l2) and n-Bu(2)SnCl(2) with sodium salt of O-tolyl/benzyldithiocarbonates, [o-, m- and p-CH(3)C(6)H(4)OCS(2)Na and C(6)H(5)CH(2)OCS(2)Na], in 1:2 molar ratio in dry toluene. The structure of these newly synthesized complexes has been examined by elemental analysis, FT-IR, multinuclear NMR ((1)H, (13)C and (119)Sn) spectroscopy. The thermal behaviour of the complex (8) has been studied by TGA/DTA analysis. The complex (8), n-Bu2Sn(S2COCH2C6H5)2, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, in which tin adopts a distorted octahedron or skew trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry accompanied by two n-butyl chains and the two dithiocarbonate ligands coordinated in an anisobidentate fashion. Antifungal activities against fungus Fusarium sp. of these organotin(IV) derivatives exhibited enhanced activity compared to the free ligands.

Crystal structure of bis-(3-bromo-pyridine-κN)bis-(O-ethyl di-thio-carbonato-κ(2) S,S')nickel(II).

In the title mol-ecular complex, [Ni(C3H5OS2)2(C5H4BrN)2], the Ni(2+) cation is located on a centre of inversion and has a distorted octa-hedral N2S4 environment defined by two chelating xanthate ligands and two monodentate pyridine ligands. The C-S bond lengths of the thio-carboxyl-ate group are indicative of a delocalized bond and the O-Csp (2) bond is considerably shorter than the O-Csp (3) bond, consistent with a significant contribution of one resonance form of the xanthate anion that features a formal C=O+ unit and a negative charge on each of the S atoms. The packing of the mol-ecules is stabilized by C-H⋯S and C-H⋯π inter-actions. In addition, π-π inter-actions between the pyridine rings [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.797 (3) Å] are also present. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are arranged in rows along [100], forming layers parallel to (010) and (001).

(2-Oxo-2H-benzo[h]chromen-4-yl)methyl morpholine-4-carbodithio-ate.

In the title compound, C(19)H(17)NO(3)S(2), the morpholine ring is in a chair conformation. In the coumarin ring system, the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyran rings is 3.9 (1)°. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into corrugated layers parallel to (102). The crystal packing also exhibits π-π inter-actions, with distances of 3.644 (1) and 3.677 (1) Šbetween the centroids of the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules.
