-(3-ureidopropionato-O1:O3)], [Sn(C6H5)3(C4H7N2O3)]n, is five-coordinate and has a trans-C3SnO2 trigonal-bipyrmidal geometry arising from bridging through the O atom of the ureido fragment of an adjacent carboxylate group. Infinite chains propagate helically along the c axis and adjacent chains are linked by N-H
O [N

The crystal used for the X-ray measurements was a crystal that was selected from a batch of triphenyltin N,N-3-oxapentamethylenethiocarbamoylthioacetate hydrate (Ng & Hook, 1999) crystals that had been kept in a bottle for several years. Whether the crystal had resulted from the solid-state decomposition of the hydrate or whether 3-ureidopropionic acid was a contaminant in the N,N-3-oxapentamethylenethiocarbamoylacetic acid that reacted with triphenyltin hydroxide to form the 3-ureidopropionate could not be ascertained.
The structure was refined using 6262 reflections (3510 unique and an additional 2752 Friedel pairs); the chirality of the crystal used in the measurements was established by the Flack parameter, which refined to -0.04 (2).
Data collection: CAD-4-PC (Kretschmar, 1994); cell refinement: CELDIM in CAD-4 VAX/PC Fortran System (Enraf-Nonius, 1988); data reduction: XCAD4 (Harms, 1997); program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 1997); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997); software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXL97.

Triphenyltin alkanoates generally adopt carboxylate-bridged chain structures whose chains have either a flat or a helical conformation (Ng et al., 1988; Tiekink, 1991, 1994). A strongly Lewis-basic site in the alkanoate group can compete successfully with the carboxyl O atom, and this is exemplified by the diethylphosphonoacetate (Ng & Kumar Das, 1994) and 3-diethylphosphonopropionate (Ng & Kumar Das, 1996). The ureido O atom in the 3-ureidopropionate is probably more basic than the phosphoryl O atoms in 3-diethylphosphonopionate [Sn—O 2.116 (2), Sn← O 2.397 (3) Å] as the dative bond [Sn—O = 2.161 (2) Å and Sn← O 2.327 (2) Å] is much shorter than than in the 3-diethylphosphopripionate. Bond dimensions involving the Sn atom in the orthorhombic modification, (I), do not differ much from those found in the monoclinic modification (Lo et al., 1991); the most significant difference is the almost linear O—Sn← O skeleton [O—Sn← O 179.2 (1)°], which contrasts with the bent skeleton [O—Sn← O 171.5 (1)°] of the monoclinic modification. The monoclinic (P21/n) modification which propagates in a zigzag manner along the c axis, adopts a similar hydrogen-bonded [N···O 2.882 (4) Å] architecture.
