catena-Poly[[trimethyltin(IV)]--(1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl phosphonato)]

J. Wu and R. Zhang

Abstract: In the title polymeric coordination compound, [Sn(CH₃)₃(C₂₀H₁₂O₄P)]_n, the Sn atom exhibits a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry with the phosphate O atoms of the 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl phosphonate ligands in axial positions and equatorial sites occupied by the three methyl groups. Adjacent Sn atoms are bridged by coordination to the two O atoms of each 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl phosphonate ligand, forming a one-dimensional chain structure parallel to the b axis.
