Bis[2-(3-chlorobenzylidene)propanoato-κ2O,O′]diethyltin(IV)

Abstract

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, [Sn(C2H5)2(C10H8ClO2)2], the Sn atom is six-coordinated in a distorted tetra­gonal–bipyramidal configuration by four O atoms in the equatorial plane and two C atoms in the axial positions. Intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two planar and two non-planar five-membered rings; the latter adopt envelope conformations. There are weak π–π inter­actions between aromatic rings, with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.796 (2) and 4.171 (2) Å. There is also a single C—Cl⋯π inter­action [C—Cl = 1.740 (4), Cl⋯π = 3.795 (2) C⋯π = 3.697 (4) Åand C—Cl⋯\\p =73.45 (11)°].
