THE 1-1 MOLECULAR ADDUCT OF TRIPHENYLTIN CHLORIDE WITH 2-(M-METHYLPHENYLIMINOMETHYL)PHENOL, [SNCL(C6H5)3(C14H13NO)]

Chloro[2-(m-methylphenyliminomethyl)-phenol]triphenyltin, M(r) = 596.72, triclinic, P1BAR, a = 9.705 (2), b = 10.758 (1), c = 15.201 (3) angstrom, alpha = 85.20 (1), beta = 73.54 (1), gamma = 66.98 (1)-degrees, V = 1400.2 (6) angstrom 3, Z = 2, D(x) = 1.415 Mg m-3, lambda(Mo K-alpha) = 0.71069 angstrom, mu = 1.03 mm-1, F(000) = 604, T = 295 K, R = 0.0550 for 4606 observed reflections. The geometry about the Sn atom is trigonal bipyramidal. The three phenyl rings are bonded to Sn in a trigonal plane [angles subtended at Sn vary from 114.5 (2) to 122.5 (2)-degrees] while the Cl and O atoms of the ligand occupy the trans positions [176.9 (1)-degrees].
