μ-Hydroxo-bis{[2-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl]dimethyltin(IV)} iodide

Abstract

The cation of the title compound, [Sn2(CH3)4(OH)(C9H12N)2]I, consists of two [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]SnMe2 units bridged by a hydr­oxy group, located on a twofold rotation axis. Both Sn atoms are penta­coordinated in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry as the result of a strong intra­molecular N→Sn inter­action trans to the Sn—O bond [N—Sn—O = 168.70 (7)°]. The iodide ion also lies on a twofold rotation axis.
