Abstract
Abstract Reaction of triphenyltin(IV) chloride with monothiobenzoic acid results in the formation of triphenyl (monothiobenzoato) tin (IV), C25H20OSSn, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P212121 (No. 19), with a = 8.2959(8), b = 16.900(4), c = 31.453(2) A, V = 4410(1) A3, Dc = 1.468g cm−3, F(000) = 1952, μ = 12.64 cm−1 for Z = 8. Refinement converged to R = 0.037 and Rw = 0.041 (w = [σ2(F) + (0.02F)2 + 1]−1) based on 3282 unique reflections and 2191 observed reflections such that l > 3σ(l). The ligand functions as a monodentate anion coordinating to the tin atom through its sulphur atom and conferring a tetrahedral geometry about the tin atom. The average bond length between tin and sulphur is 2.430(5)A.
The crystal structure of triphenyl (monothiobenzoato) tin (IV) reveals a tetrahedral geometry with a tin-sulphur coordination, forming a tetrahedral complex with sulphur atoms.
