Bis(4-fluorobenzyl)tin(IV) ester of pyruvic acid salicylhydrazone

Abstract: In the title complex, bis[-salicylaldehyde (1-carboxylatoethylidene)hydrazonato(2-)]bis[ethanolbis(4-fluorobenzyl)tin(IV)], [Sn₂(C₇H₆F)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂O₄)₂(C₂H₆O)₂], each central Sn^IV atom has a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal configuration, being coordinated by three O atoms and one N atom from the pyruvic acid salicylhydrazone ligands, one O atom from an ethanol molecule and two axial C atoms from trans 4-fluorobenzyl groups, thus forming a dimeric molecule, which sits on a crystallographic center of symmetry. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability and compactness of the crystal structure.
