Abstract
A single crystal X-ray diffraction study has shown that in butyl-chloro-bis(8-quinolinate)tin(IV) the coordination geometry around the tin atom is distorted octahedral; two O atoms, a N atom of the cis-chelated 8-quinolinate ligands, and a chlorine atom are in equatorial sites. The apical sites are occupied by the N atom of the other cis-chelate 8-quinolinate group and the butyl group. The apical groups form a CSnN angle of 172.3(2)°. The two SnO distances are effectively equal [2.054(4) Å and 2.059(3) Å], but the axial SnN bond [2.223(5) Å] is slightly longer than the equatorial SnN bond [2.201(4) Å]. The SnCl and SnC distances [2.429(2) Å; 2.073(6) Å] are similar to those in related complexes.
