Abstract
The title compound, [Sn4(C9H12N)4S6]·CHCl3, consists of four [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]Sn units bridged by six S atoms along with a disordered solvent molecule. The cage-like structure has two four-membered Sn2S2 rings linked by two S atoms in an Sn4S6 skeleton. The asymmetry of the Sn—S bonds in the four-membered rings is the result of the combined effect of the trans influence of the strong N→ Sn intramolecular coordination as well as the Sn—S (axial and equatorial) bonds. The Sn atoms are pentacoordinated with a (C,N)SnS3 trigonal bipyramidal core. Owing to intermolecular H...Ph interactions, the molecules are arranged into a polymeric ribbon along the b axis of the monoclinic unit cell. The solvent Cl atoms are disordered over two positions; the site occupancies are 0.58 and 0.42.
