Abstract
Abstract Bis(chlorodiphenylstannyl)methane[(C 6 H 5 ) 2 ClSn] 2 CH 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca . The unit cell, with dimensions a 23.992(24), b 20.602(16) and c 10.158(8) A, V 5021(8) A 3 , contains eight molecules. The structure was refined to a final R -value of 0.082 for 1990 independent reflections. Both tin atoms are pentacoordinated, with intra- and inter-molecular chlorine bridges. The SnCl distances are 2.375, 2.441, 3.368 (intramolecular bridge) and 3.235 A (intermolecular bridge). The structure consists of polymeric chains (parallel to c axis), with the molecules held together by Sn⋯ Cl bonds (3.235 A).
