Crystal Structure of Di-iso-butylammonium Thiolactatotriphenylstannate

Abstract

The title compounds, [(iso-C4H9)2NH2][SnPh3(O2CCH(CH3)S)], crystallized in a monoclinic space group P21/n with the following cell parameters: a = 9.8537(2)A, b = 16.7775(3)A, c = 17.5845(3)A, β = 103.7740(10)°, V = 2823.48(9)A3, Z = 4 and Dx = 1.375 Mg m-3. The structure was refined to a final R value of 0.0222 for 5042 reflections [I > 2σ(I)]. The structure of the complex is ionic consisting of an anionic triphenyltin moiety and a cationic di-iso-butylammonium portion. In addition, a hydrogen bonding network between the cations and anions was observed.
