Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Systems Derived from Organotin Nanobuilding Blocks
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
A new synthesis of the macro-cation {(BuSn)12O4(OH)6}2 is described from commercially available and easy to handle BuSnO(OH) and p-toluene sulfonic acid. A crystalline compound, {(BuSn)12O4(OH)6}(O3SC6H4CH3)2.C4H8O2, is obtained. It can react with tetramethylammonium hydroxide to yield the more versatile composition: {(BuSn)12O4(OH)6}(OH)2. The macro-cations are then used as nanobuilding blocks and assembled in rosary-like structures by carboxyterminated poly(ethyleneglycol). The resulting system can be pictured as hybrid organic-inorganic alternated block co-polymers. Characterizations were performed with 119Sn NMR (solution and solid state), 13C CP-MAS NMR and FT-IR.
