Redetermination of tetra­kis(N,N-di­ethyl­di­thio­carbamato)tin(IV)

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(C₅H₁₀NS₂)₄], was originally determined by Harreld & Schlemper [Acta Cryst. (1971), B27, 1964–1969] using intensity data estimated from Weissenberg films. In comparison with the previous refinement, the current redetermination reveals anisotropic displacement parameters for all non-H atoms, localization of the H atoms, and higher precision of lattice parameters and inter­atomic distances. The complex features a distorted S₆ octa­hedral coordination geometry for tin and a cis disposition of the monodentate dithio­carbamate ligands.

S1. Comment

Organotin dithiocarbamate compounds continue to attract interest owing to their use as precursors for Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) of SnS, as pharmaceuticals, and their structural diversity (Tiekink, 2008). The title compound (I) has been synthesized and its crystal structure reported here. In the previously reported structure (Harreld & Schlemper,1971), no hydrogen atoms were included and the crystal was found to be monoclinic with Z = 4, a=15.64 (2) Å, b=15.75 (2) Å, c=13.91 (2) Å, β=112.50 (2)°.These data are slightly different from the new ones due probably to the significantly improved precision with respect to the geometric parameters provided by this redetermination. The molecular structure and the atom-numbering scheme of the title compound are shown in Fig. 1.The tin atom is octahedrally coordinated by two chelating ligands and two monodentate dithiocarbamate ligands with the latter occupying mutually cis-positions. Distortions from the ideal octahedral are clearly related to the restricted bite angle of the chelating ligands and further, the asymmetry in the Sn–S bond distances formed by the chelating ligand is related to the trans influence exerted by the monodentate ligands, i.e. the longer Sn–S bond distance formed by the chelating ligand is trans- to the sulfur atom of the monodentate ligand.

S2. Experimental

Compound (I) was obtained by reacting tin (IV) tetrachloride (883 mg, 3.39 mmol) with sodium N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate (1160 mg, 6.78 mmol) in ethanol. Orange crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were grown by recrystallization from dichlomethane/hexane.

S3. Refinement

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H distances in the range 0.96 - 0.97 Å, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with U_iso(H) = 1.2–1.5U_eq(C).

Special details

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.
