Abstract
Dicyclohexyltin(IV) complexes $Cy_2SnX (X = O,\;S,\;(Me_2NCS_2)_2)$ have been prepared and characterized by means of elemental analysis, cryoscopic data, and IR spectroscopy. X-ray structure determination for $Cy_2Sn(S_2CNMe_2)_2$ (monoclinic; P2/c;a = 8.992(1), b = 6.688(1), c = 19.453(2) ${\AA},\;{\beta}$ = 96.556(7) ; R = 0.041) has shown that the molecule is $C_2$-symmetric with both dithiocarbamate ligands bonding in anisobidentate mode and the local geometry around the hexacoordinate Sn(IV) atom is a distorted octahedral arrangement with the two cyclohexyl groups in trans position. The physical and chemical properties measured suggest polymeric and trimeric structures for $Cy_2SnO\;and\;Cy_2SnS$, respectively.
