(4-Chloro-3-nitro-benzoato)triphenyl-tin(IV)
Abstract:
In the title compound, [Sn(C(6)H(5))(3)(C(7)H(3)ClNO(4))], the four-coordinate Sn(IV) atom exists in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, formed by a monodentate carboxyl-ate group and three phenyl rings. The conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(5) ring. The aromatic ring of the 4-chloro-3-nitro-benzoate ligand makes dihedral angles of 75.64 (12), 64.37 (12) and 2.97 (12)° with the three phenyl ligands. The O atoms of the nitro group are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.817 (5):0.183 (5) ratio. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running parallel to [010].
