Catena-Poly[[trimethyltin(IV)]-μ-3,5-difluorobenzoato-κ2O:O′

Abstract

In the title compound, [Sn(CH3)3(C7H3F2O2)]n, the central Sn atom is coordinated by two O atoms from the anion and three methyl C atoms in a polymeric fashion owing to the presence of bidentate bridging carboxyl­ate ligands. The five-coordinate Sn atom exists in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry with the mol­ecules connected by weak C—H⋯F inter­moleclar inter­actions, forming supra­molecular chains parallel to [010].
