Bis(3-chlorobenzyl)tin(IV) ester of pyruvic acid 4-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone
Abstract
The Sn atom in the title complex, bis-pyruvic acid 4-hydroxybenzoylhydrazonato(2-)bisbis(3-chlorobenzyl)ethanoltin(IV), Sn2(C8H6Cl)4(C10H8N2O4)2(C2H6O)2, is six-coordinate with a distorted octahedral geometry, three O atoms and one N atom forming the equatorial plane. Through additional weak Sn-O bonding and hydrogen bonds, two molecules form a dimer, which has crystallographic symmetry. These discrete dimers are connected by hydrogen-bonding interactions into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
