The Sn atom in the title substituted pyridinium stannate bromo-3,4-dichlorobenzene solvate, (C7H11N2)2[SnBr4(C6H3Cl2)2]·C6H3BrCl2, lies on a twofold axis within an octahedral C2Br4 donor set. Each cation forms an N-H
Br hydrogen bond to one of the Br atoms of the anion. The solvent molecule is disordered about the twofold rotation axis with equal occupancy. The crystal under investigation was non-merohedrally twinned, with a twin component ratio of 0.76:0.24.
Tetrakis(3,4-dichlorophenyl)tin (0.70 g, 1 mol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine hydrobromide perbromide (0.73 g, 2 mmol) were heated in ethanol/chloroform (1:1 v/v, 100 ml) for 3 h. Crystals separated from the cool solution after a day.
The presence of bromo-3,4-dichlorobenzene in the crystal structure probably arose from contamination of the tetrakis(3,4-dichlorophenyl)tin reactant, which itself was synthesized in a Grignard reaction with bromo-3,4-dichlorobenzene as the starting halogen-bearing compound.
The structure initially refined to 7.7%. PLATON (Spek, 2009) gave the twin law as (1 0 0.746, 0 - 1 0, 0 0 - 1); a new hkl file was generated by using the detwinning tool in the program.
The aromatic and pyridyl rings were refined as rigid hexagons of 1.39 Å sides. For the lattice solvent molecule, which is situated about a 2-fold axis, the C–Cl distance was restrained to 1.74±0.01 Å and the C–Br distance to 1.90±0.01 Å. The molecule was allowed to refine off the 2-fold rotation axis. The anisotropic displacement factors of the carbon atoms were restrained to be nearly isotropic.
SHELXL-97 suggested an unusually large values for a and b in the weighting scheme, and so the suggested scheme was not used. Instead, an arbitrary value of a = 0.15 was used which gave a statisfactory Goodness-of-Fit of about 1.5.
Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95, N–H 0.88 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2U(C,N). The torsion angles of the methyl groups were refined.
The final difference Fourier map had a large peak at 1.3 Å from H7 and a deep hole at 1.5 Å from H15.
