Abstract
The title compound, [Sn6(C4H9)6(CH3COO)6O6]·C7H8, has one half-toluene molecule and one half-organotin molecule in the asymmetric unit. The latter is situated about an inversion centre and belongs to the class of hexameric monoorganooxotin carboxylates with a hexagonal prismatic or ‘drum-like’ motif of the central tin–oxygen core. Two Sn3O3 rings in a flat-chair conformation are linked via six Sn—O bonds and six bridging acetate groups. All Sn atoms have approximate octahedral coordination geometry. The Sn—O bonds which are trans to the alkyl group are significantly shorter than the others. One butyl group is disordered over two different sites, with occupancies of 0.9:0.1. Very large atomic displacement parameters of the toluene molecule indicate an unresolvable disorder about the twofold axis.
