N-(2,6-Diisopropyl-phen-yl)-N-{3-[(2,6-diisopropyl-phen-yl)imino]-butan-2-yl}aza-nide trichloridostannate(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, (C(28)H(43)N(2))[SnCl(3)], two pairs of molecular species are present in the asymmetric unit. The employed ?-diimine opens up, forming a highly asymmetric ammonium that has its protons at one of the N atoms [N-C= 1.264?(4) and 1.516?(4)?Å]. One of the C=N double bonds was oxidized to C-N, which is consistent with the bond length of 1.516?(4)?Å. Meanwhile Sn(IV) was reduced to Sn(II). The (SnCl)(3) (-) anion is trigonal-pyramidal. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H?Cl, N-H?Cl, N-H?N and C-H?N bonds. The crystal studied was twinned by pseudo-merohedry.
