Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis[(2,6‐pyridinedicarboxylato) (methanol) dibenzyltin (IV)]

A novel seven‐coordinate dimer bis(2,6‐pyridinedicarboxylato)(methanol)dibenzyltin(IV)] was synthesized by the reaction of (PhCH₂)₃SnCl with 2,6‐pyridine dicarboxylic acid in 1:1 molar ratio in methanol solution. The structure was characterized by elemental analysis, IR and ¹H NMR spectra, and the crystal structure was determined by X‐ray single crystal diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a =0.96250(19) nm, b = 1.0947(2) nm, c = 1.9965(4) nm, β = 92.31(3)°, Z = 2, V = 2.1019(7) nm³, D_c = 1.574 g/cm³, μ = 1.248 mm^?1, F(000)=1000, R₁ = 0.0675, wR₂ = 0.0836. In the crystals of the complex, each tin atom is seven‐coordinated in a distorted bipyramidal structure.
