Di-?-nicotinato-?N:O;?O:N-bis-[aqua-bis-(4-bromo-benz-yl)(nicotinato-?O,O')tin(IV)].

ABSTRACT: Two nicotinate binding modes are observed in the dinuclear title compound, [Sn(2)(C(7)H(6)Br)(4)(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(4)(H(2)O)(2)]: in the first, a terminal O,O'-chelating molecule binds to a water-coordinated diorganotin cation, while the second mode corresponds to an O:N-bridging molecule which binds to two cations. The two Sn atoms exist in trans-C(2)SnNO(4) penta-gonal-bipyramidal geometries. Adjacent dinuclear units are linked by O-H?N hydrogen bonds, generating a linear chain, which propagates in the b-axis direction. O-H?O inter-actions are also observed.
