Abstract
The title compound, [Sn(C6H5)3(C17H25O3S)]n, comprises two symmetry-independent five-coordinated triphenyltin molecules which are linked by carboxylate bridges into a polymeric chain. The SnIV atom is in a distorted trans-C3SnO2 trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The presence of two bulky tert-butyl groups on the benzene ring prevents any hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the hydroxyl substituents.
