Dibromido(N-phenylbenzamidine-κN′)tin(II)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [SnBr2(C13H12N2)], contains an amidine ligand and tin(II) bromide moiety. In the amidine ligand, the phenyl rings present a head-to-tail configuration mode. The tin atom is coordinated by the terminal N atom of the amidine ligand, and the two Br atoms extend to both sides of the Sn atom in a V-shape. The phenyl rings are twisted from the mean N/C/N plane by 26.14 (18) and 79.50 (8)°. The crystal structure features N—H...Br hydrogen bonds.
