Abstract: | The structure at 298 K described here, [Sn(C6H5)3(C7H4NO4)], completely confirms the results at 173 K obtained previously [Weng, Das & Robinson (1990), Malays. J. Sci. 12 , 57]. In both structures, weak interaction between Sn and the carbonyl O atom of the benzoate group provides a distorted trigonal‐pyramidal environment at the Sn atom derived from its pseudo‐tetrahedral primary coordination in both molecules of the asymmetric unit. |
