Bonding and metal-atom dynamics in two unique Sn(I)-Sn(III) complexes.
Two recently reported tin complexes, which incorporate both Sn(I) and Sn(III) sites in their structure, have been examined by temperature-dependent 119Sn Mössbauer effect (ME) spectroscopy. The distinct hyperfine parameters of the two sites make it possible to assign relative occupancies of the two sites (at 90 K) on the basis of the recoil-free fraction data extracted from the ME spectra. The temperature dependencies of the recoil-free fractions, elucidated from the ME spectra, show that the metal-atom dynamics are very similar for the two sites in the temperature range 90<T<150 K.
