Crystal structure of bis-{μ-(E)-2-[(2-oxido-phenyl-imino)-meth-yl]quinolin-8-olato-κ⁴O,N,N',O'}bis-[di-butyl-tin(IV)].

ABSTRACT: Condensation of 8-hy-droxy-quinoline-2-carbaldehyde with 2-amino-phenol gave the (E)-2-[(2-hy-droxy-phenyl-imino)-meth-yl]quinolin-8-ol derivative that reacted with di-n-butyl-tin oxide with release of H₂O to yield the chelate title complex, [Sn₂(C₄H₉)₄(C₁₆H₁₀N₂O₂)₂]. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with two independent centrosymmetric dimers in the unit cell. Each features a typical pincer-type structure where the dianionic ligand is tetra-dentate, coordinating to the central tin atom through both phenolate oxygen atoms, as well as through the quinoline and imine N atoms. Each metal atom adopts a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal Sn
