Dichloridobis[2-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl-²C,O]tin(IV)

Y. Dong

Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, [SnCl₂(C₅H₉O₂)₂], has crystallographic twofold symmetry with the Sn atom lying on the rotation axis. The Sn atom is in a distorted SnC₂Cl₂O₂ octahedral geometry with two five-membered chelate rings formed by intramolecular Sn-O interactions [2.551 (2) Å]. The pendant ethyl group is disordered over two positions in a 0.695 (12):0.305 (12) ratio.
