n-Butyldichlorido{4-cyclohexyl-1-[phenyl(2-pyridyl-κN)methylene]thiosemicarbazidato-κ2N1,S}tin(IV) chloroform monosolvate

Abstract

The monodeprotonated Schiff base ligand in the title compound, [Sn(C4H9)(C19H21N4S)Cl2]·CHCl3, N,N′,S-chelates to the Sn atom, which is six-coordinated in an octahedral environment. The three coordinating atoms along with the butyl C atom comprise a square plane, above and below which are positioned the Cl atoms. The amino group is a hydrogen-bond donor to a Cl atom of an adjacent molecule, the hydrogen bond giving rise to a helical chain propagating in [010]. The Cl and H atoms of the chloroform molecule are disordered over two positions in an 0.67:0.33 ratio.
