Abstract
Abstract The polymeric organotin(IV) selenate complex [(Me3Sn)3(SeO4)(OH)]n (1) has been isolated as single crystals from the reaction of [(Me2NH2)2SeO4] and Me3SnCl in methanol. In the solid state, compound 1 was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system space group Pbca with a=11.0231(2) Å, b=16.3461(3) Å, c=20.9945(4) Å, α=β=γ=90°, V=3782.89(12) Å3, and Z=8. Its structure can be described as a polymeric zigzag chain based on Me3Sn moieties linked by tridentate selenate anions. Pendant (Me3Sn)2OH groups are also connected to the chain, according to a syndiotactic organization, and via Sn-O-Se bonds. Intermolecular OH···O hydrogen bonds and long Se-O···Sn distance interactions promote the association of chains together and lead to the propagation of a three-dimensional network. In addition, the behavior of 1 in solution (methanol) was also studied by multinuclear nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
