Mittal 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur-302004 (INDIA) <p style="text-align:justify">The reactions of hexabutylditin with b- diketones and b- ketoesters in the molar ratio of 1:2 were studied in the medium of anhydrous benzene. Complexes of the type R<sub>3</sub>Sn-L (where R= &shy;C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>9</sub>) have been synthesized. All the reactions were not so facile and tin-tin bond was cleaved in preference to the tin -carbon bond. The resulting tin (IV) complexes of b-diketones and b-ketoesters were isolated in the form of brown yellow solids or semi-solids. They are soluble in common organic solvents. These complexes are supposed to have trigonal bipyramidal geometry.</p> https://ultraphysicalsciences.org/paper/1333/ Hexabutylditin ligands b-diketones and b-Ketoesters
