Dibutyl-ammonium bis-(hydrogen methylphosphonato-κO)triphenylstannate(IV).

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title organotin salt, (C(8)H(20)N)[Sn(C(6)H(5))(3)(CH(4)O(3)P)(2)], contains two dibutyl-ammonium cations and two stannate(IV) anions consisting each of two monodentately bonding methyl hydrogenphosphate groups attached to an Sn(C(6)H(5)) unit. The overall coordination environment of the two Sn(IV) atoms is trigonal-bipyramidal defined by three phenyl C atoms in equatorial positions and two methyl hydrogenphosphate O atoms at the apical sites. In the crystal, the stannate(IV) anions are linked to each other via pairs of short O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to an infinite chain extending parallel to the b-axis direction. Neighbouring chains are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the butyl-ammonium cations, giving a two-dimensional structure parallel to the ab
