(-2,2'-Biquinolinyl-4,4'-dicarboxylato-²O:O')bis[(dimethylformamide-O)triphenyltin(IV)]

L.-B. Wang

Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, [Sn₂(C₆H₅)₆(C₁₀H₅NO₂)₂(C₃H₇NO)₂], is centrosymmetric. Two triphenyltin groups are bridged by a 2,2'-biquinolinyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate dianion (L) through its two carboxylate groups. Each Sn atom displays a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry composed of three phenyl groups, one carboxylate O atom from the L dianion and one O atom of N,N-dimethylformamide. The molecules display aromatic - stacking (face-to-face distance 3.406 Å).
