Abstract

By the reaction of N.N'-dimethyl oxamide with water-free tin tetrachloride in the molar ratio (1:1), in hot pure 1, 2-dichloroethane as a solvent, a white powdery complex is obtained, where the bidentate ligand (N, N' -dimethyl oxamide) is bound to the central atom (Sn) of the prepared octahedral complex through the oxygen donors. The synthesized complex is of the type SnCl4 LL. in which the coordination number of tin (4) in SnCl4 is increased to (6) in the complex. The paper describes the preparation and properties of the complex and also includes its IR, H-NMR spectra, and the fragments of its mass spectrum.
