catena-Poly[[trimethyltin(IV)]-μ-2,3-bis(4-chlorophenyl)propenoato-κ2O:O′]
Abstract
The title compound, [Sn(CH3)3(C15H9Cl2O2)]n, forms polymeric chains involving both O atoms of the carboxylate group. The coordination geometry around the Sn atom is distorted trigonal–bipyramidal. The three methyl C atoms occupy the equatorial positions, with Sn—C distances of 2.113 (3)–2.124 (2) Å, and two O atoms, including one from a symmetry-related molecule, are at the axial positions, with Sn—O distances of 2.152 (2) and 2.454 (2) Å.
