Bis{μ‐2‐[(2,3‐dichloro­phenyl)­amino]­benzoato‐κO}di‐μ2‐ethoxo‐octa­methyl­di‐μ3‐oxo‐tetra­tin(IV)

The title compound, [Sn₄(CH₃)₈(C₁₃H₈Cl₂NO₂)₂(C₂H₅O)₂O₂], is a centrosymmetric dimer, with three linearly fused four‐membered Sn—O—Sn—O rings. The coordination poly­hedron of the Sn atom bonded to the carboxyl­ate can be described as trigonal–bipyramidal distorted toward square‐pyramidal. That of the second Sn atom is similar, but the distortion towards square‐pyramidal geometry is greater. The Sn—O and Sn—C distances are 2.020 (2)–2.226 (2) and 2.096 (4)–2.114 (4) Å, respectively. The benzene rings of the 2‐[(2,3‐dichloro­phenyl)­amino]benzoate ligand subtend an angle of 50.49 (17)°; the conformation of the ligand is stabilized by intra­molecular N—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The structure is assembled viaπ–π stacking inter­actions to form chains parallel to [10].     

Tetrakis(μ2‐4‐aminobenzoato)di‐μ3‐oxido‐tetrakis[dibutyltin(IV)]

The molecule of the title compound, [Sn₄(C₄H₉)₈(C₇H₆NO₂)₄O₂], lies about an inversion centre and is a tetranuclear bis(tetrabutyldicarboxylatodistannoxane) complex containing a planar Sn₄O₂ core in which two μ₃‐oxide O atoms connect an Sn₂O₂ ring to two exocyclic Sn atoms. Each Sn atom has a highly distorted octahedral coordination. In the molecule, the carboxylate groups of two aminobenzoate ligands bridge the central and exocyclic Sn atoms, while two further aminobenzoate ligands have highly asymmetric bidentate chelation to the exocyclic Sn atoms plus long O...Sn interactions with the central Sn atoms. Each Sn atom is also coordinated by two pendant n‐butyl ligands, which extend roughly perpendicular to the plane of the Sn₄O₁₀ core. Only one of the four unique hydrogen‐bond donor sites is involved in a classic N—H...O hydrogen bond, and the resulting supramolecular hydrogen‐bonded structure is an extended two‐dimensional network which lies parallel to the (100) plane and consists of a checkerboard pattern of four‐connected molecular cores acting as nodes. The amine groups not involved in the hydrogen‐bonding interactions have significant N—H...π interactions with neighbouring aminobenzene rings.     

Bromo­di­methyl(N‐methyl­pyrrolidin‐2‐one‐O)­tin(IV)‐di‐μ‐bromo‐bromo­di­methyl­tin(IV)

The preparation and X‐ray analysis of the title compound, [Sn₂Br₄(CH₃)₄(C₅H₉NO)], are described. The compound contains two Sn atoms in the asymmetric unit, that complexed by N‐methyl­pyrrolidin‐2‐one being hexacoordinated (a), the other exhibiting pentacoordination (b). The most important features are three different Sn—Br bond lengths at both Sn atoms with the following values: (a) 2.5060 (9), 2.7152 (10) and 3.7118 (10) Å; (b) 2.5084 (10), 2.5279 (9) and 3.5841 (10) Å.     

trans‐Bis­[ethane‐1,2‐di­thiol­ato(2–)‐S,S′]­bis(2‐mer­cap­to­pyri­dine‐S)­tin(IV)

The title compound, [Sn(C₅H₅NS)₂(C₂H₄S₂)₂], was obtained from a 1:2 mixture of bis­(ethane‐1,2‐di­thiol­ato)­tin(IV) and 2‐mercapto­pyridine. The mol­ecules are discrete monomeric trans‐octahedral units, with the Sn^IV atom at the centre of symmetry, planar 2‐mercapto­pyridine zwitterions and SnS₂C₂ groups in twist–envelope conformations. The 2‐mercapto­pyridine ligands are monodentate and are bonded through the S atoms. The S—Sn distances between the S atom of edt (edt is ethane‐1,2‐di­thiol­ate) and the Sn atom are 2.473 (1) and 2.505 (1) Å, which are slightly longer than the S—Sn distance in Sn(edt)₂ of 2.390 (1) Å. The bond between the 2‐mercapto­pyridine S atom and the Sn atom are, remarkably, weaker than the S—Sn bond involving edt.

The coordination geometry about the metal atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal, with the two methyl C atoms and one N atom in the equatorial plane, and the Cl and second N atom in axial positions.     

A complex containing both five‐ and six‐coordinate [bis(5‐bromosalicyli­dene)benzene‐1,2‐diimine]chloro­iron(III)

In the five‐coordinate monomer, the Fe atom shows distorted square‐pyramidal geometry, with the N and O atoms of the ligand at the base and the Cl atom at the apex of the pyramid. In the six‐coordinate monomer, the Fe atom is in a distorted octahedral geometry and coordinated by the donor atoms of the tetrafunctional ligand in the horizontal plane, and the coordination sphere is completed by the O atom of the water mol­ecule and the Cl atom at the axial positions. The title compound contains intermolecular O—H?O hydrogen bonds. Apart from these hydrogen bonds, there are also intermolecular C—H?Cl and C—H?O contacts.     

A pseudosymmetric triclinic modification of tri­phenyl­tin iso­propyl­xanthate

All three independent mol­ecules in the triclinic modification of (O‐iso­propyl di­thio­carbonato‐S)­tri­phenyl­tin, [Sn(C₆H₅)₃(C₄H₇OS₂)], show tetrahedral coordination at their Sn atoms. Bond dimensions involving the Sn atoms are similar to those found in the monoclinic modification of the same compound. Two of the independent mol­ecules are related by a pseudo‐translation allowing a stacking fault that reduces the intensities of h + k odd reflections.

Complex 3 adopts a structure with a tetranuclear Sn₄(µ₃‐O)₂ core. All tin atoms are five‐coordinate and form bonds with three oxygen atoms and two butyl ligands. Two carboxylates are bridging and two are terminal ligands. IR and NMR spectra indicate that the same structure is adopted by complexes 1 and 2. The molecular and electronic structures of complex 1 of C _i symmetry have been studied using the semi‐empirical PM3 formalism. The calculated structure and bond distances agree with X‐ray data. All complexes are effective antitumor agents. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

{2,6‐Bis­[(di­methyl­amino)­methyl]­phenyl‐N2,C1,N6}di­phenyl­tin(II) bromide monohydrate

In the title compound, [Sn(C₆H₅)₂(C₁₂H₁₉N₂)]Br·H₂O, the Sn^IV atom lies on a twofold axis and is coordinated by a C and two N atoms from the 2,6‐bis­[(di­methyl­amino)­methyl]­phenyl ligand in a tridentate fashion and by two phenyl groups. The resulting geometry is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, with three C atoms in equatorial and the two N atoms in axial positions. The main deformation from ideal trigonal‐bipyramidal geometry is seen for the N—Sn—N angle [152.18 (7)°]. The Br^? anion and the water solvate mol­ecule are on an inversion centre and twofold axis, respectively. They form an infinite chain of Br?H—O—H?Br hydrogen bonds [Br?O 3.529 (2) Å] without contributing to the primary coordination sphere of the Sn atom.

The ammonium counter‐ions surround the chain, and each cation forms a pair of hydrogen bonds to the double‐bond carbonyl O atoms of the same dianionic group. The chain propagates in a zigzag manner along the c axis of the monoclinic cell. In catena‐poly­[methyl­(phenyl)­ammonium [tri­butyl­tin‐μ‐(pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxyl­ato‐O²:O⁶)]], (C₇H₁₀N)­[Sn(C₇H₃NO₄)­(C₄H₉)₃], the pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxyl­ato groups also link the tri­butyl­tin groups into a chain, but the hydrogen‐bonded chain propagates linearly on the ac face of the monoclinic cell.
