trans-Dichloridobis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)bis(4-fluorobenzyl-κC1)tin(IV): crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

Abstract

The SnIV atom in the title diorganotin compound, [Sn(C7H6F)2Cl2(C2H6OS)2], is located on a centre of inversion, resulting in the C2Cl2O2 donor set having an all-trans disposition of like atoms. The coordination geometry approximates an octahedron. The crystal features C—H...F, C—H...Cl and C—H...π interactions, giving rise to a three-dimensional network. The respective influences of the Cl...H/H...Cl and F...H/H...F contacts to the molecular packing are clearly evident from the analysis of the Hirshfeld surface.
