Bis(2-carboethoxyethyl)diiodotin at 120  K

R. A. Howie and S. M. S. V. Wardell

Abstract: In the structure of the title compound, [Sn(C₁₀H₁₈O₄)I₂], Sn lies on a crystallographic twofold axis and the molecule therefore has C₂ molecular symmetry. As is usual for an ester-tin compound of this kind, the carbonyl O atom of the carboethoxy moiety bonds to Sn, creating a five-membered chelate ring and, due to the molecular symmetry, renders Sn six-coordinate.
