cis-Bis(8-hydroxyquinolinato-²N,O)diphenyltin(IV)

A. Linden, T. S. Basu Baul and A. Mizar

Abstract: The coordination geometry at the Sn atom in the title compound, [Sn(C₆H₅)₂(C₉H₆NO)₂], is distorted cis-octahedral, in which the two phenyl ligands are cis to one another and trans to the N atoms of the oxinate ligands. This arrangement brings the oxinate O atoms into a trans relationship and is the geometry adopted most frequently by diorganotin(IV) oxinates. The OO vector in the molecule is almost parallel to the plane of every ligand.
