Crystal Structure of Di-iso-butylammonium Thiolactatotriphenylstannate

Abstract

The title compounds, [(iso-C₄H₉)₂NH₂][SnPh₃(O₂CCH(CH₃)S)], crystallized in a monoclinic space group P2₁/n with the following cell parameters: a = 9.8537(2)Å, b = 16.7775(3)Å, c = 17.5845(3)Å, β = 103.7740(10)°, V = 2823.48(9)ų, Z = 4 and D_x = 1.375 Mg m^-3. The structure was refined to a final R value of 0.0222 for 5042 reflections [I > 2σ(I)]. The structure of the complex is ionic consisting of an anionic triphenyltin moiety and a cationic di-iso-butylammonium portion. In addition, a hydrogen bonding network between the cations and anions was observed.
