Abstract:
In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Sn(4)(CH(3))(8)(C(6)H(5)O(2)S)(4)O(2)], the central four-membered planar ring (Sn(2)O(2)) makes dihedral angles of 66.28 (12) and 77.43 (11)° with the heterocyclic rings of the bridging and monodentate ligands, respectively. One Sn(IV) atom adopts a distorted SnO(3)C(2) trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, with both C atoms in equatorial sites and the other a grossly distorted SnO(4)C(2) octa-hedral or irregular arrangement. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected into pillar-like polymeric units making R(2) (2)(12) ring motifs due to inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions. C-H⋯π inter-actions are also present. The O atoms of the chelating ligands and the S atom of the monodentate ligand are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.65 (6):0.35 (6) ratio.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
