Conclusion
The study successfully synthesized a new zwitterionic organotin compound with a penta-coordinated tin atom.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound features a penta-coordinated tin atom with a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry.
- Strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding was observed in the zwitterionic structure.
- Disorder was noted in the n-butyl group, refined over three positions.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new type of organotin compound that has a special structure, which helps it bond in a unique way.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized through recrystallization from a CH2Cl2/n-hexane mixture in the presence of moisture.
