“…3) [39e44], in which all tin atoms and carboxylate groups are included. Besides these weak intermolecular Sn (2) (6) A] [27], being significantly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii for tin and oxygen atoms (3.70 A) [48], therefore these oxygen atoms can be considered as bonding. The geometry found about the tin atom in the complex 1 is best described as a skew-trapezoidal bipyramid geometry and closely resembles those found for the structures of n-Bu 2 Sn-(O 2 CCH 2 SC 6 H 5 ) 2 [49] …”
