Abstract
The structure of tricyclohexyltin chloride has been determined by X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the space group P 2 1/ m with a 10.386(6), b 17.195(9), c 5.713(3) A,β 104.26(9)° and Z = 2. It consists of discrete tetrahedral (cyclo-C 6 H 11 ) 3 SnCl units. The departure from the regular tetrahedral geometry is less than that in tricyclohexyltin acetate. The quadrupole splitting value (Δ 3.49 mm s −1 ), so large as to have been attributed to a penta-coordinated geometry, is shown to be consistent with the tetrahedral geometry when distortions are taken into account in the treatment of the point charge model.
