Crystal Structure of 4-Nitroanilinium Tetrachlorodimethylstannate(IV)

Abstract

The structure of a new organotin(IV) complex with formula [4-NH₃C₆H_4-NO₂]⁺₂[Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₄]^2- is reported. This crystal belongs to space group P2₁/c with cell dimensions a = 7.8026(4)Å, b = 20.8627(11)Å, c = 6.8990(4)Å, β = 111.4560(10)°; the final R value is 0.0291. This compound exists as a three-dimensional polymer produced by intermolecular N-H…Cl and N-H…O hydrogen bonds. Also, weak C-H…O and C-H…Cl hydrogen bonds were observed in the crystal lattice.
