Abstract:
In the title compound, [Sn(C(6)H(5))(3)(C(10)H(13)OS)]·0.17C(6)H(6), the Sn(IV) atom exhibits a slightly distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry built up by four C atoms, which are the three ipso-C atoms of the phenyl rings and the α-C atom of the deprotonated γ-O-functionalized propyl phenyl sulfide. The benzene mol-ecule lies about a threefold rotoinversion axis.
