catena-Poly[triethyl-ammonium [[triphenyl-tin(IV)]-μ-3,3'-dihydroxy-4,4'-methyl-ene-di-2-naphtho-ato]]
Abstract:
The title compound, {(C(6)H(16)N)[Sn(C(6)H(5))(3)(C(23)H(14)O(6))]}(n), has an infinite chain structure, formed through monodentate carboxyl-ate groups of the pamoic acid anion. The anion bridges two symmetry-related Sn(IV) ions and the resulting polymeric chains are parallel to [201] in the crystal. Et(3)NH(+) cations are inserted between the chains. The coordination of the Sn(IV) atom is completed by three phenyl ligands, giving a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
