Single crystals of the title salt, (C3H10N3)2[Sn(CH3)2(H2O)4](SO4)2, formed concomitantly with the already known [Sn(CH3)3]2SO4·2H2O. In the title structure, the SnIV atom displays a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry defined by four O water atoms in the equatorial positions and two methyl groups in the axial positions. In the crystal, various O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the organic cation and the coordinated water mol­ecules as donors and the sulfate O atoms as acceptors result in a three-dimensional structure. The SnIV atom is located on an inversion centre, resulting in half of the complex metal cation being in the asymmetric unit.

Comment top

Tin-based materials are known to exhibit a wide panel of potential applications in domains as different as plastic stabilizers, reaction catalysts (Molloy & Purcell, 1986), phytosanitory products (Dutrecq et al., 1992) or medicinals (Gielen, 2005). In such context, any new tin-based molecular material description brings its contribution to the knowledge of organotin compounds diversity, revealing, for instance, the report of new crystal packings or coordination sphere geometries. To such aim, we focused on oxoanions, notably sulfate, to construct polymeric tin-based compounds (Boye & Diasse-Sarr, 2007). It has been previously reported that (Sn(CH3)3)2SO4.2H2O (Molloy et al., 1989) crystallizes in an orthorhombic unit cell with a three-dimensional network based on an O2SnC3 coordination sphere, with the SnIV cation directly coordinated to the O atoms of the sulfate anion. Allowing dimethyl guanidinium sulfate to react which trimethyltin chloride, we obtained the known compound and concomitantly also single crystals of the title compound, (C3H10N3)2[Sn(CH3)2(H2O)4](SO4)2, the structure of which is described here. It is notable that these two compounds are optically undistinguishable and that all attempts gave mixtures of single crystals.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains half of an [Sn(CH3)2(H2O)4]2+ cation with the SnIV cation located on an inversion centre, one dimethyl guanidinium cation and one sulfate anion. The SnIV cation is octahedrally coordinated to two methyl groups in axial and four oxygen atoms of water molecules in equatorial positions (Figure 1). This O4SnC2 environment constitutes the first major difference with the structure of the previously reported compound. The second one comes from the crystal packing itself (Figure 2), since sulfate anions are not coordinated to Sn. The O—S—O bonds angles [108.71 (11)° -110.27 (10)°] indicate a slight angular distorsion of the tetrahedral sulfate anion. The third major structural difference in comparison with the previously reported compound comes from the presence of additional dimethyl guanidinium cations. Dimethyl guanidinium and the complex metal cations are connected through hydrogen bonds to the sulfate O atoms (Table 2), resulting in a three-dimensional structure.

Experimental top

[Me2NC(=NH)NH2]2H2SO4 and SnMe3Cl are Aldrich chemicals used without further purification. The title derivative is obtained by mixing in an 1:1 ratio [Me2NC(=NH)NH2]2H2SO4 (0,61 g, 2,18 mmol) dissolved in methanol (40 ml) and a minimum of water (10 ml) and SnMe3Cl (0,43 g, 2,18 mmol) dissolved in dichloromethane. The mixture was stirred for around two hours at room temperature and by slow solvent evaporation gave prismatic crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis. Apart from the title compound, (Sn(CH3)3)2SO4.2H2O crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were also found in the same batch. The determined crystal structure is strictly the same as the one previously described. Crystals of both compounds are colourless (m.p.> 533 K) and present the same global shape and size. Only X-ray diffraction allowed to distinguish between these concomitant products.

The title compound was isolated according to the following reaction:

4[(Me2NC(=NH)NH2)2H2SO4] + 6SnMe3Cl + 8H2O

[SnMe2(H2O)4](SO4)2[Me2NC(=NH2)NH2]2 + 2(SnMe3)2SO4.2H2O + 6[Me2NC(=NH2)NH2]Cl + SnMe4

Refinement top

H atoms of water and guanidinium were forund from Fourier synthesis and were refined freely. H atoms of the methyl groups were placed geometrically and were allowed for free rotation, with Ueq(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). The highest peak and the deepest hole in the final Fourier synthesis are 1.76 Å from O12 and 0.70 Å from Sn1, respectively.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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.
