Chloro(mu-6-methylpyridine-2-carboxylato)bis(6-methylpyridine-2-carboxylato)triphenylchromium(III)tin(IV) chlorotriphenyltin(IV).

ABSTRACT

The title compound, [CrSn(C6H5)3(C7H6NO2)3Cl][Sn(C6H5)3Cl(CH4O)], was obtained from the reaction of Ph3SnCl with the complex [Cr(C7H6NO2)3] in methanol. The structure contains [Ph3SnCl(MeOH)] (A) and [Ph3SnClCr(C7H6NO2)3] (B) molecules. In molecule A, the Sn atom of Ph3SnCl is coordinated by one methanol molecule. In molecule B, the Sn atom of Ph3SnCl is coordinated by one carboxylate O atom of [Cr(C7H6NO2)3]. Molecules A and B are connected through an O-H...O hydrogen bond between a carboxylate O atom and the methanol OH group. Weak C-H...Cl interactions and O-H...O hydrogen bonds extend the components of (I) into a two-dimensional network.
