On the crystal structure of tribenzyltin(IV) iodide, Bz 3 SnI: a correction
Abstract
Tribenzyliodidotin(IV), [Sn(C 7 H 7 ) 3 I], has been prepared and its crystal structure determined in order to clarify some discrepancies in a previous report. The compound does not crystallize in the rhombohedral space group R 3 as originally assumed [Wang et al. (2011). Wuji Huaxue Xuebao , 27 , 487–490], but in the monoclinic space group Cc , and also does not have a tin–iodide distance of 2.452 (3) but of 2.7165 (2) Å. Furthermore, the molecules are not associated in strands via iodide bridges but are isolated from each other, with their dipole moments forming an angle of 23.53 (1)° to the c -glide plane of the space group.
