Polymeric Three-Dimensional Crystal Structure of a Tributyltin(IV) Derivative with Acetylene Dicarboxylic Acid

Abstract

A novel polymeric complex has been synthesized by refluxing disodium acetylene dicarboxylate with tributyltin chloride in dry methanol. The solid-state structure of the complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The tin(IV) metal exhibits distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Each carboxylate group of the ligand acts in a bidentate fashion, linking adjacent metal atoms to produce polymeric chains, which are cross-linked into a three-dimensional network.
