The SnIV atom in the title salt, [N(CH3)3(C6H5)]2[SnBr4(C6H4Cl)2], exists in a distorted all-trans SnC2Br4 octahedral geometry. The SnIV atom lies on a center of inversion. Weak intermolecular C-H
Br hydrogen bonding is observed between trimethylphenylammonium cations and the Sn complex anion in the crystal structure.
In an attempt to cleave a tin-carbon bond in a tetraorganotin compound, tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)tin (0.57 g, 1 mmol) and trimethylphenylammonium tribromide (0.38 g, 1 mmol) were heated in ethanol for six hours. Colorless crystals of the stannate separated from the solution after a few days.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.93–0.96 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5U(C).
The final difference Fourier map had peak near Sn1 and a hole near Br2.
The refinement program suggested a rather larger second parameter for the weighting scheme. The scheme was arbitrarily selected as (0.05 5.00), which led to a satisfactory, albeit somewhat large, goodness-of-fit.
