Novel Intermolecular C-H…π Interactions from a One-dimensional Chain: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Ladder Dibenzyl Tin Carboxylate

摘要

The title ladder organotin carboxylate,{[(C6H5CH2)2Sn]4(p-NH2C6H4-COO)2O2(OCH3)2}·0.5H2O 1,has been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses,IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.Complex 1 is located across on an inversion center and displays a Sn4O4 ladder-like structure with a one-dimensional supramolecular chain through C-H…π interactions.In the asymmetric unit two Sn(Ⅳ) atoms assume similar trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry.Two aminobenzoate groups coordinate to the terminal Sn(Ⅳ) atoms.The deprotonated methanol molecule bridges two independent Sn(Ⅳ) atoms.A half of lattice water molecule is disorderly filled in the cavity formed by Sn(Ⅳ) complexes.
