Hypothesis

The study investigates the synthesis and structure of triethylammonium tetra­chlorido(pyrazine-2-carboxyl­ato)stannate(IV).

Conclusion

The new compound exhibits a cis-SnCl4NO octahedral geometry with specific hydrogen bonding interactions.

Supporting Evidence

  • The SnIV atom is chelated by a pyrazine-2-carboxylate ligand.
  • The compound forms an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond.
  • The structure was determined using X-ray crystallography.

Takeaway

Scientists made a new chemical compound using pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, and they found out how its atoms are arranged.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized by reacting triethylammonium pyrazine-2-carboxylate with stannic chloride in dry methanol under nitrogen atmosphere.
