Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of tri-chlorido-(1,10-phenanthroline-κ² N,N')phenyltin(IV).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Sn(C₆H₅)Cl₃(C₁₂H₈N₂)], which was obtained by the reaction between 1,10-phenanthroline and phenyl-tin trichloride in methanol, exhibits intra-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving the chlorine and hydrogen atoms. Crystal cohesion is ensured by inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as Y-X⋯π and π-stacking inter-actions involving three different aromatic rings with centroid-centroid distances of 3.6605 (13), 3.9327 (14) and 3.6938 (12) Å]. Hirshfeld surface analysis and the associated two-dimensional fingerprint plots reveal significant contributions from H⋯H (30.7%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (32.4%), and C⋯H/H⋯C (24.0%) contacts to the crystal packing while the C⋯C (6.2%), C⋯Cl/Cl⋯C (4
