Abstract: | The crystal structure of the title compound, Sn4(C4H9)8(C10H6NO4)4O2], contains centrosymmetric dimers. It contains a central Sn2O2 core with the O atoms bonded to two dibutylbis(N‐phthaloylglycinato)tin units. The Sn atoms of the core are six‐coordinate in a skew trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry, while the exocyclic Sn atoms are essentially five‐coordinate in a distorted trigonal geometry. The Sn—C distances lie in a narrow range of 2.120 (5)–2.138 (4) Å. |
