Four bis (tricyclohexyltin)pyridinedicarboxylates, {[(2,6-Hpydc)SnCy3]center dot MeOH}(n) (1), [(2,6-pydc)Sn2Cy6(H2O)]center dot PhH (2), [(3,5-pydc)Sn2Cy6(MeOH)]center dot MeOH (3) and [(3,5-pydc)Sn2Cy6(H2O)]center dot EtOH (4), have been prepared by the microwave-assisted solvothermal reaction of tricyclohexyltin hydroxide with 2,6-H(2)pydc and 3,5-H(2)pydc (H(2)pydc=pyridinedicarboxylic acid), respectively. Compounds 1 similar to 4 have been characterized by elemental, IR, (H-1, C-13 and Sn-119) NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The distorted tetrahedral and trigonal bipyra...
