Novel dimeric organotin cations [R2SnOH(OTf)(H2O)]2 (R = n-Bu, t-Bu, and 2-phenylbutyl;Tf = CF3SO2) were synthesized from R2SnO and TfOH. The structures of these compoundswere investigated by single-crystal X-ray analysis and solid-state 119Sn NMR in the solidstate and 119Sn NMR spectra together with electrical conductivity measurements in solution.tert-Butyltin and 2-phenylbutyltin derivatives have cationic structures both in the solid stateand in solution. The n-butyltin derivative is nonionic in the solid state but dissociates intoionic species in solution. The H2O molecule in this compound can be readily replaced byhexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA); the resulting adduct has a similar structure. Thecorresponding nitrate has a nonionic dimeric structure with bidentate nitrate coordination,[t-Bu2SnOH(NO3)]2. As such, it is concluded that both bulky alkyl groups attached on tinand electronegative ligands such as triflate are crucial for generation of the cationic species.
