Dicyclohexylammonium trimethylbis(hydrogen phenylphosphonato)stannate(IV)

Abstract

In the title compound, (C12H24N)[Sn(CH3)3(C6H6O3P)2], the SnMe3 residues are axially coordinated by two monodentate [PhPO3H]− anions, leading to a trigonal–bipyramidal geometry for the SnIV atom. The two [SnMe3(PhPO3H)2]− anions in the unit cell are associated into infinite chains along the a axis by O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxy group of the hydrogen phenylphosphonate ion. The chains interact with one another via O—H...O hydrogen bonds along the c axis. These networks of anions assemble with the dicyclohexylammonium ion through N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
