(Received 22 November 2007; accepted 26 November 2007; online 6 December 2007)

The structure of bromidochloridobis[2-(dimethyl­amino­meth­yl)phen­yl]tin(IV), [SnBr0.65Cl1.35(C9H12N)2], contains two 2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4 units bonded to a Sn atom which lies on a twofold axis. The compound exhibits substitutional disorder of the halide atoms bonded to the Sn, with 1.35 occupancy for Cl and 0.65 for Br; it is isomorphous with the corresponding dichloride. The Sn atom is hexa­coordinated with a (C,N)2SnX2 (X = Cl/Br) distorted octa­hedral core as a result of the strong intra­molecular N→Sn coordination trans to the Sn—X bonds (N1—Sn1—X1 = 165.8°). As a result of the inter­molecular contacts, viz. H⋯X and H⋯benzene inter­actions, the mol­ecules are arranged in a three-dimensional supra­molecular manner in the crystal structure.

During our work on hypervalent organotin(IV) compounds with the [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]Sn fragment (Varga et al., 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, Rotar et al. 2007), the title compound (I) was isolated. It contains two 2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4 units bonded to a tin atom which lies on a twofold axis of the space group C2/c. The compound exhibits substitutional disorder of both halide atoms bonded to the Sn with chlorine being the major (1.35) and the bromine the minor (0.65) component.

The structure of [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]2SnCl2 was also determined (Varga et al., 2001) and is isomorphous with the title compound. Both have space group C2/c; the cell constants as well as the volume differ slightly (0.39% increase for the title compound) as the result of the presence of a different halide in the molecular unit.

The molecules of the compound feature a metal atom strongly coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of the pendant arms [Sn—N1 = 2.64 (1) Å; the Sn—N distance exceeds the sum of the covalent radii for the corresponding atoms, Σcov(Sn,N) = 2.1 Å (Emsley, 1994)] trans to an Sn–halogen bond (N1—Sn1—X1 = 165.8°). This results in a (C,N)2SnX2 (X = Cl/Br) core in the title compound with a trans-SnC2 fragment, while the N and X atoms are cis positions (Fig. 1). The octahedral geometry around the Sn atom is distorted from the ideal geometry as a consequence of the small 'bite' of the pendant arm ligand [C1—Sn1—N1 = 71.4°] and the steric repulsion between the organic groups bonded to the Sn atoms. All these features are similar to the corresponding dichloride.

As a result of the intramolecular coordination of the nitrogen to the tin atom a five-membered SnC3N ring is formed. This ring is not planar but is folded along the Sn(1)···Cmethylene axis with the N atom out of the best plane defined by the residual SnC3, thus inducing planar chirality, with the phenyl ring as chiral plane and the nitrogen as pilot atom (IUPAC, 1979). Indeed, the compound crystallizes as a racemate, i.e. a mixture of RN1RN1i and SN1SN1i [symmetry code: (i) 2 - x, y, 0.5 - z].

In the crystal of the title compound intermolecular interactions, i.e. hydrogen bond type interactions and H···phenyl interactions (Fig. 2), give rise to a supramolecular array. If only chlorine is considered than layers are built of the same type of isomer [H4···X1ii = 2.87 Å, H3···Cg1ii = 3.19 Å; symmetry code: (ii) -1/2 + x, 1/2 + y, z] along the ab plane (Fig. 3). If bromine is taken into account, than alternating parallel layers of RN1RN1i and SN1SN1i isomers are bridged through weak H6···X1iii [3.02 Å; symmetry code: (iii) 2 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] interactions resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture (Fig. 4).

Experimental top

The title compound was isolated as a by-product of the reaction between [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]SnCl2 and [2,6-(Me)2C6H3]MgBr, due to partial halide exchange.

Refinement top

All hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and with Uiso= 1.5Ueq (C) for methyl H and Uiso= 1.2Ueq (C) for aryl H. The methyl groups were allowed to rotate but not to tip. The two halide atoms were refined as substitutional disorder between chlorine and bromine, with 1.35 occupancy for Cl and 0.65 occupancy for Br.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
