Benzylchloridobis(quinolin-8-olato)tin(IV)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Sn(C7H7)(C9H6NO)2Cl], the SnIV ion is in a distorted octahedral coordination environment formed by the O and N atoms of two bis-chelating quinolin-8-olate ligands, a Cl atom and a C atom from a benzyl ligand. The axial sites are occupied by an N atom of a quinolinate ligand and the C atom of the benzyl ligand. The axial Sn—N bond is slightly shorter than the equatorial Sn—N bond.
