catena-Poly[[chloridodimethyltin(IV)]-μ-chloroacetato-κ2O:O′]

Abstract

In the title polymeric coordination compound, [Sn(CH3)2(C2H2ClO2)Cl]n, the Sn atom has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry, with two O atoms of the ligands in axial positions and two methyl groups and one Cl atom in equatorial positions. Adjacent Sn atoms are bridged by the two O atoms of the carboxylate ligand, forming a chain structure along the a-axis direction.
