Octa-methyl-bis-(?(2)-2-methyl-benzoato-?O:O')bis-(2-methyl-benzoato-?O)di-?(3)-oxido-tetra-tin(IV).


ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Sn(4)(CH(3))(8)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(4)O(2)], is a distann-oxane derivative of 2-methyl-benzoic acid. The crystal structure is composed of centrosymmetric dimers lying about inversion centres. Both independent Sn atoms adopt distorted trigonal-bipyramidal SnC(2)O(3) coordination geometries with the basal planes consisting of two C-atoms from the methyl groups and a bridging O atom. The Sn-C and Sn-O bond lengths lie in the ranges 2.090?(2)-2.104?(3) and 2.0241?(14)-2.2561?(15)?Å, respectively. The central four-membered planar Sn(2)O(2) ring [Sn?Sn distance = 3.2993?(2)?Å] makes dihedral angles of 5.43?(11) and 59.50?(7)° with the methyl-phenyl groups, which are themselves oriented at a dihedral angle of 61.38?(8)°. Besides weak C-H?O and C-H?? inter-actions, the packing mainly features van der Waals forces between the mol-ecules.
