{2,6-Bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl-N2,C1,N6}diphenyltin(II) bromide monohydrate
Abstract
In the title compound, [Sn(C6H5)2(C12H19N2)]Br·H2O, the SnIV atom lies on a twofold axis and is coordinated by a C and two N atoms from the 2,6-bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl ligand in a tridentate fashion and by two phenyl groups. The resulting geometry is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, with three C atoms in equatorial and the two N atoms in axial positions. The main deformation from ideal trigonal-bipyramidal geometry is seen for the N—Sn—N angle [152.18 (7)°]. The Br− anion and the water solvate molecule are on an inversion centre and twofold axis, respectively. They form an infinite chain of Br⃛H—O—H⃛Br hydrogen bonds [Br⃛O 3.529 (2) Å] without contributing to the primary coordination sphere of the Sn atom.
