| Abstract: | nBu2Sn[O2CCH2CH(4-ClC6H4)Ge(OCH2CH2)3N]2.H2O(Mr=1053.66) is an air-stable compound which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a=21.182(5), b=12.174(3), c=17.108(4) , β=99.59(2)°, V=4350(3) 3, Z=4, F(000)=2104, μ=2.104 mm-1. The refinement of structure with I≥3σ(I) for 1819 reflections converged at R=0.045. The coordination geometry around the Sn atom is best described as an askew-pentagonal bipyramid, in which four carboxylate oxygen atoms( Sn(1)-O(5), Sn(1)-O(5a)=2.099 and Sn(1)-O(4), Sn(1)-O(4a)=2.158 ) and an oxygen atom from an aqua ligand comprise the pentagonal plane, with two butyl groups occupying axial positions. |
