Dicyclohexyl[N-(3-methoxy-2-oxidobenzylidene)valinato-κ3O,N,O′]tin(IV)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Sn(C6H11)2(C13H15NO4)], the Sn atom is five-coordinate and adopts a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal SnNC2O2 geometry with the O atoms in axial positions. The metal atom forms five- and six-membered chelate rings with the O,N,O′-tridentate ligand. The two cyclohexyl groups bound to the Sn atom adopt chair conformations, with the Sn—C bonds in equatorial positions and a mean Sn—C distance of 2.138 (3) Å.
