Low-temperature redetermination of aquachloridotriphenyltin(IV)-1,10-phenanthroline (1/1)

S. W. Ng

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(C₆H₅)₃Cl(H₂O)]·C₁₂H₈N₂, which was refined in the triclinic space group P $\\overline{1}$ [Fu, Gao, Ma & Zhang (2005). Chin. J. Synth. Chem. 13, 55-57], has been redetermined in the monoclinic space group C2/c from low-temperature diffraction measurements. The Sn atom is five-coordinate in a trans-C₃SnClO trigonal-bipyramidal geometry; the coordinated water molecule forms a pair of hydrogen bonds to the nitrogen heterocycle.
