The Sn-C bonding content between the SnO and CNTs interface was controlled by the hydrothermal method and subsequent heat treatment. Electrochemical analysis found that the SnO@CNTs with high Sn-C bonding content exhibited much higher capacity contribution from alloying and conversion reaction compared with the low content of Sn-C bonding even after 200 cycles. The high Sn-C bonding content enabled the SnO nanoparticles to stabilize on the CNTs surface, realizing an in situ pulverization process of SnO. The in situ pulverized structure was beneficial to maintain the close electrochemical contact of the working electrode during the long-term cycling and provide ultrafast transfer paths for lithium ions and electrons, which promoted the alloying and conversion reaction kinetics greatly. Therefore, the SnO@CNTs composite with high Sn-C bonding content displayed highly reversible alloying and conversion reaction. It is believed that the composite could be used as a reference for design chemically bonded metal oxide/carbon composite anode materials in lithium-ion batteries.

The title compound, [Sn(CH)Cl(CHN)], which was obtained by the reaction between 1,10-phenanthroline and phenyl-tin trichloride in methanol, exhibits intra-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving the chlorine and hydrogen atoms. Crystal cohesion is ensured by inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as -⋯π and π-stacking inter-actions involving three different aromatic rings with centroid-centroid distances of 3.6605 (13), 3.

Crystals of the title salt, (CHN)[Sn(CH)(CHOS)], comprise diisobutyl-ammonium cations and mercapto-acetato-tri-phenyl-stannate(IV) anions. The bidentate binding mode of the mercapto-acetate ligand gives rise to a five-coordinated, ionic tri-phenyl-tin complex with a distorted -trigonal-bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom. In the crystal, charge-assisted ammonium-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen-bonding connects two cations and two anions into a four-ion aggregate.

Article Synopsis
  • A new series of organotin compounds with different organic groups (methyl, n-butyl, benzyl, and phenyl) was synthesized using a sonochemistry-assisted reaction.
  • The chemical structure and coordination of the central tin atom were confirmed through Sn{H} NMR and X-ray diffraction studies, revealing a four-coordinated environment in solution and a specific boat-chair conformational arrangement in the solid state.
  • Analysis indicated that these eight-membered heterocycles are stabilized by weak noncovalent interactions, primarily driven by dispersion forces.

Extreme ultraviolet lithography has recently been introduced in high-volume production of integrated circuits for manufacturing the smallest features in high-end computer chips. Hybrid organic/inorganic materials are considered as the next generation of photoresists for this technology, but detailed knowledge about the response of such materials to the ionizing radiation used (13.5 nm, 92 eV) is still scarce.
