Catena-Poly[[trimethyltin(IV)]-μ-(1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diyl phosphonato)

Abstract

In the title polymeric coordination compound, [Sn(CH3)3(C20H12O4P)]n, the Sn atom exhibits a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry with the phosphate O atoms of the 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diyl phospho­nate ligands in axial positions and equatorial sites occupied by the three methyl groups. Adjacent Sn atoms are bridged by coordination to the two O atoms of each 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diyl phospho­nate ligand, forming a one-dimensional chain structure parallel to the b axis.
