Abstract: | The crystal structure of catena‐polytri‐n‐butyltin]‐μ‐3‐(1‐naphthylaminocarbonyl)acrylato‐κ2O1:O3], Sn(C4H9)3(C14H10NO3)]n, is composed of polymeric chains wherein the metal center exhibits a distorted trigonal‐bipyramidal geometry, with three n‐butyl groups defining the trigonal plane mean Sn—C 2.133 (7) Å] and the axial positions being occupied by the carboxylate O atoms of two different N‐(1‐naphthyl)maleamate ligands with inequivalent Sn—O distances 2.167 (4) and 2.457 (4) Å]. The N‐(1‐naphthyl)maleamate fragment forms an essentially planar seven‐membered ring involving an intramolecular N—H?O hydrogen bond. |
