Abstract: The structure of [SnMe₃O₂C(CH₂)₃CO₂SnMe₃]_n or {[Sn₂(CH₃)₆(C₅H₆O₄)]}_n consists of an infinite layer containing pentacoordinate Sn atoms. There are two formula units, A and B, in the asymmetric unit. Glutarate acts as a tetradentate bridging ligand, each glutarate being linked to four different Sn atoms, generating two-dimensional sheets. One ligand links the Sn atoms of unit A, the other the Sn atoms of unit B. The sheets are parallel to each other.
