Abstract

The tin atom in Me2Sn(phen)Cl-2 is located on a crystallographic site of symmetry m2m and exists within a distorted octahedral geometry defined by a C2Cl2N2 donor set with the tin-bound methyl groups occupying trans- positions. A two-dimensional array stabilised by C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl interactions is established in the crystal structure. Crystal data for Me2Sn(phen)Cl-2: C14H14Cl2N2Sn, M = 399.90, orthorhombic space group Cmcm, a = 11.359(2), b = 18.910(5), c = 7.536(2) angstrom, V = 1618.7(11) angstrom(3), Z = 8, R = 0.073. © 2008, Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH
