₂-Oxalato-bis[triphenyl(thiourea-S)tin(IV)]

Y. Sow, L. Diop, K. C. Molloy and G. Kociok-Kohn

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the binuclear title compound, [Sn₂(C₂O₄)(C₆H₅)₆(CH₄N₂S)₂], consists of one half of the organotin(IV) molecule. The remainder is generated by a twofold rotation axis passing through the mid-point of the oxalate C-C bond. The Sn^IV atom exhibits a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment with the phenyl groups in equatorial positions and the thiourea and the monodentately bridging oxalate anion in axial positions. The molecules are linked through N-HO hydrogen bonds involving the amino group of the thiourea ligand and the uncoordinating oxalate O atoms, forming layers parallel to (001). Weak C-HO interactions are also present.
