The oxidation of stannous halides by tetrahalogeno-ortho-quinones, and the crystal structure of bis[2-(dimethylamino)ethyldimethylammonium] tris(tetrachlorocatecholato)tin(IV), (Me2NC2H4NMe2H)2[Sn(O2C6Cl4)3]

The reaction between SnX2 (X = Cl, Br, I), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and Y4C6O2 (Y = Cl, Br) yields Y4C6O2SnX2•phen with the o-quinone being converted to the corresponding catecholate anion. Reactions in which phen is replaced by Me2NC2H4NMe2 (tmen) are more complex, and the products depend in part on the solvent. These products include Cl4C6O2SnCl2•tmen, and products arising from solvation by ROH (R = CH3, C2H5). An X-ray crystallographic study of (tmenH)2[Sn(O2C6Cl4)3] shows that the anion contains a six-coordinate tin atom bonded to substituted catecholate anions. Hydrogen-bonding between cation and anion appears to be an important factor in the stability of the lattice.
