Crystal structure of bis-(cyclo-hexyl-ammonium) di-phenyl-dioxalatostannate(IV).

ABSTRACT: Reaction of oxalic acid and di-phenyl-tin dichloride in the presence of cyclo-hexyl-amine led to the formation of the title salt, (C6H14N)2[Sn(C6H5)2(C2O4)2]. The dianion is made up from an Sn(C6H5)2 moiety cis-coordinated by two chelating oxalate anions, leading to an overall distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry of the Sn(IV) atom. The negative charges are compensated by two surrounding cyclo-hexyl-ammonium cations adopting chair conformations each. In the crystal, anions and cations are linked via a network of N-H?O hydrogen bonds into a layered arrangement parallel to (101).
