Fabrication of a honeycomb-like bimetallic SERS substrate for detection of triphenyltin chloride

Triphenyltin chloride (TPhT), an organotin compound incurs intensive toxicological risk to the environment and humans. A detection method with high sensitivity and stability is therefore desired to better detect TPhT....

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF TRIPHENYLTIN (IV) FORMATE POLYMER, (HCO2SnPh3)n

The title polymer [HCO2Sn(C6H5)3]n was isolated by serendipitous from reaction in ethanol 96 % between bis-(monocyclohexyl ammonium) 2-carboxyethyl hydrogen phosphonate, {(CyNH3)2[CO2CH2CH2PO2(OH)]} and triphenyltin chloride, SnPh3Cl. The polymer crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with Z = 4, a = 14.7091 (18) Å, b = 15.4133 (19) Å, c = 14.7639 (18) Å, β = 94.242 (2)° and V = 3338.0 (7) Å3. The structure consists of an infinite chain propagating along the crystallographic a-axis direction with bidentate formate anions. The O2SnC3 core is organized into a trans-trigonal bipyramidal like-arrangement.

Crystal structure of a 1:1 adduct of triphenyltin chloride with 3-cyclohexhyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one

In the centrosymmetric (racemic) title compound, chlorido(3-cyclohexhyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one-κO)triphenyltin(IV), [Sn(C6H5)3Cl(C15H19NOS)], the tin(IV) atom exhibits a trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry with the three phenyl groups in equatorial positions and the chloride anion and ligand oxygen atom present at axial sites [O—Sn—Cl = 175.07 (14)°]. The thiazolidinone ring of the ligand adopts an envelope conformation with the S atom as the flap. The dihedral angles between the heterocycle ring plane (all atoms) are 44.3 (9)° with respect to the pendant C-phenyl plane and 34.3 (11)° to the N-cyclohexyl ring (all atoms). The C-phenyl and N-cyclohexyl ring are close to orthogonal to each other, with a dihedral angle of 81.1 (4)° between them. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds to generate [001] chains.
