L.-N. Sun and C.-W. Hu

Abstract: In the title complex, [Sn₂(CH₃)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂O₃)₂(CH₄O)₂], the Sn^IV ion has a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. The carboxylate O atom bridges two Sn^IV ions to form the dimeric complex, which is located on an inversion center. Hydrogen bonding between the methanol and carboxylate groups helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
