Abstract
In the polymeric title coordination compound, [Sn(C6H5)3(C7H7O2Se)]n, the SnIV atom has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry, with two O atoms from two symmetry-related bridging seleninate ligands in axial positions and three phenyl groups in the equatorial plane. In the crystal, the complex exhibits a zigzag chain structure running parallel to the c axis. An intrachain C—H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed.
Highlights
Bipyramidal geometry, with two O atoms from two symmetry-related bridging seleninate ligands in axial positions and three phenyl groups in the equatorial plane
An extended one-dimensional zigzag chain structure running parallel to the c axis is formed by the bridging role of the 3-methylphenylseleninate anions (Fig. 2)
The product was crystallized from a solution of ether to yield colourless blocks of the title compound
Summary
R factor = 0.038; wR factor = 0.097; data-to-parameter ratio = 14.5. In the polymeric title coordination compound, [Sn(C6H5)3(C7H7O2Se)]n, the SnIV atom has a distorted trigonal– bipyramidal geometry, with two O atoms from two symmetry-related bridging seleninate ligands in axial positions and three phenyl groups in the equatorial plane. In the crystal, the complex exhibits a zigzag chain structure running parallel to the c axis. An intrachain C—H O hydrogen bond is observed.
