Dichlorido{1-[N-(5-chloro-2-oxidophenyl)carboximidoyl]naphthalen-2-olato-κ3O,N,O′}(methanol-κO)tin(IV)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Sn(C17H10ClNO2)Cl2(CH3OH)], the SnIV atom features a distorted octahedral geometry defined by the O,N,O′-donors of the dianion, two Cl atoms and the methanol O atom. The six-membered chelate ring has a half-chair conformation with the Sn atom lying 0.449 (4) Å out of the plane defined by the remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0238 Å). Supramolecular helical chains along [100], mediated by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, feature in the crystal packing. Chains are linked by C—H...O, C—H...Cl and π–π [centroid–centroid distance = 3.598 (2) Å] interactions.
