Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of a novel one-dimensional supramolecular dimethyltin (IV) compound

A novel one-dimensional (1D) supramolecular dimethyltin compound of (MeSnO)(MeSnOCH)(O CCHSCHN-2,6)[Me Sn(OCCHSCHN -2,6)]·CHOH was prepared by the reaction of (CH)SnCl with (2-pyrimidylthio)acetic acid with CHONa as a base. The title compound contained four different tin atom environments. Among them, Sn(1) and Sn(2) were both five-coordinate with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries, Sn(3) was six-coordinate with a distorted octahedral geometry and Sn(4) was seven-coordinate with pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. Meanwhile, the compound was stabilized in a 1D infinite chain by intermolecular Sn-O bonds. © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
