Dichloridoocta-kis(2-chloro-benz-yl)di-μ(2)-hydroxido-di-μ(3)-oxido-tetra-tin(IV).

ABSTRACT: The title tetra-nuclear Sn(IV) compound, [Sn(4)(C(7)H(6)Cl)(8)Cl(2)O(2)(OH)(2)], has site symmetry . Two O(2-) and two OH(-) anions bridge four Sn(IV) cations to form the tetra-nuclear compound. The two independent Sn(IV) cations assume SnO(3)C(2) and SnO(2)C(2)Cl distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometries. Intra-molecular O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding is present in the structure. One Cl atom of a chloro-benzyl ligand is disordered over two sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.693 (2):0.307 (2).
