Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and computational studies of Schiff base complexes of tin(IV) chloride

Reaction of anhydrous tin(IV) chloride with mono functional bidentate Schiff bases (sbnH), in 1:2 molar ratios, gives Toddler complexes of the type, [(sbn)2SnCl2] (1-4) (where, n=1-4; sb=2-(((4-chlorophenyl)imino)methyl)phenol, sb1H, I; 2-(((4-bromophenyl)imino)methyl) phenol, sb2H, II; 2-(((4-chlorophenyl)imino)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol, sb3H, III a
