Tin(II) chloride also behaves as a Lewis acid, forming complexes with ligands such as chloride ion, for example: SnCl 2 (aq) + CsCl (aq) → CsSnCl 3 (aq) Most of these complexes are pyramidal, and since complexes such as SnCl − 3 have a full octet, there is little tendency to add more than one ligand.
A simple Lewis model also does not account for the phenomenon of aromaticity. For instance, Lewis structures do not offer an explanation for why cyclic C 6 H 6 (benzene) experiences special stabilization beyond normal delocalization effects, while C 4 H 4 (cyclobutadiene) actually experiences a special destabilization.
Tin(II) bromide can act as a Lewis acid forming adducts with donor molecules e.g. trimethylamine where it forms NMe 3 ·SnBr 2 and 2NMe 3 ·SnBr 2 [11] It can also act as both donor and acceptor in, for example, the complex F 3 B·SnBr 2 ·NMe 3 where it is a donor to boron trifluoride and an acceptor to trimethylamine.
It is named after Warren K. Lewis (1882–1975), [6] [7] who was the first head of the Chemical Engineering Department at MIT. Some workers in the field of combustion assume (incorrectly) that the Lewis number was named for Bernard Lewis (1899–1993), who for many years was a major figure in the field of combustion research.

To obtain tin(II) acetate, tin(II) oxide is dissolved in glacial acetic acid and refluxed to obtain yellow Sn(CH 3 COO) 2 ·2CH 3 COOH when cooled. The acetic acid can be removed by heating under reduced pressure, and the white Sn(CH 3 COO) 2 crystals can be obtained by sublimation.

Arrow pushing or electron pushing is a technique used to describe the progression of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. [1] It was first developed by Sir Robert Robinson.In using arrow pushing, "curved arrows" or "curly arrows" are drawn on the structural formulae of reactants in a chemical equation to show the reaction mechanism.
