{1-[(2-Oxidonaphthalen-1-yl)methylidene]thiosemicarbazidato-κ3N1,O,S}diphenyltin(IV)
Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Sn(C6H5)2(C12H9N3OS)], contains two independent molecules with almost identical configurations. In each molecule, the SnIV atom is coordinated by O, N and S atoms from a (2-oxido-1-naphthaldehyde)thiosemicarbazonato ligand and two C atoms from phenyl rings in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. Weak intermolecular N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds link four molecules into a centrosymmetric tetramer. The crystal packing exhibits short intermolecular S...S contacts of 3.335 (3) Å.
