The synthesis of (I) was carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere using standard Schlenk techniques. The Schiff base (0.1165 g, 4 mmol) was added to a mixture of ethanol and benzene (1:3 v/v, 30 ml) with sodium ethoxide (0.272 g, 4 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 0.5 h and then Ph2SnCl2 (0.1376 g, 4 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred for 10 h under reflux. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered and evaporated to dryness. The resulting solid, (I), was then recrystallized from dichloromethane–hexane (3:1, v/v) (m.p. 515–516 K). Analysis, calculated for C29H21N3O2Sn: C 61.95, H 3.76, N 7.47%; found: C 61.73, N 3.65, N 7.58%.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

The structure of the title molecule, (I), in Fig. 1 shows that the complex is a monomer in which the Sn atom adopts a five-coordinate geometry, being coordinated by two O atoms, two C atoms and one N atom. The Schiff base is coordinated to the Sn atom as a tridentate ligand via the azomethine N atom, the hydroxyl O atom and the carbonyl O atom. Thus, the C—N—N—C chain can indicate [What? Text missing. Conjugation?] by the intermediate C7—N3 [1.309 (4) Å], N3—N2 [1.403 (4) Å] and N2—C6 [1.296 (4) Å] bonds. The Sn1—N3 distance is 2.141 (3) Å, which is close to the sum of the non-polar covalent radii (2.15 Å; Sanderson, 1967), indicating a strong Sn—N interaction. The O atoms coordinate to the Sn atom with one shorter Sn—O bond [Sn1—O1 2.117 (3) Å] and one longer Sn—O bond [Sn1—O2 2.074 (3) Å]. These lengths are similar to the Sn1—C24 and Sn1—C18 bonds [2.109 (4) and 2.113 (4) Å, respectively]. Very similar structural parameters were observed in the compound studied by Yearwood et al. (2002). The O2—Sn1—C24, O2—Sn1—C18 and C24—Sn1—C18 angles are 96.74 (14), 95.03 (14) and 120.33 (15)°, respectively, confirming that the complex has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal configuration.
