Addition compounds of aldehydes with tin(IV) halides

Addition compounds of tin(IV)chloride and bromide with benzaldehyde, salicyldehyde, furanaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, naphthaldehyde and phthalaldehyde have been isolated. Studies of their molecular weight, molar conductance, dipole moment, i.r. spectra (4000-250 cm-1), t.g.a. and heats of formation have been carried out to throw light on their structure and stability
