Interaction energy of 190 interactions between Tin (IV) chloride and their organometallic derivatives as acceptors (A) and derivatives of pyridine, bipyridine and phenanthroline as donors (B) have been calculated. Various calculations indicate that the order of acidic strength of acceptors based on the values of chemical potential is Triethyl tin (IV) chloride < Trimethyl tin (IV) chloride < Triphenyl tin (IV) chloride < Diphenyl tin (IV) chloride < Diethyl tin (IV) chloride
