Poly[bis(trimethyltin)-μ-glutarato]

Abstract

The structure of [SnMe3O2C(CH2)3CO2SnMe3]n or {[Sn2(CH3)6(C5H6O4)]}n consists of an infinite layer containing pentacoordinate Sn atoms. There are two formula units, A and B, in the asymmetric unit. Glutarate acts as a tetradentate bridging ligand, each glutarate being linked to four different Sn atoms, generating two‐dimensional sheets. One ligand links the Sn atoms of unit A, the other the Sn atoms of unit B. The sheets are parallel to each other.
