Conclusion
The study reveals the structure of a tin compound that features a unique skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry.
Supporting Evidence
- The tin atom is chelated by two quinoline-2-carboxylate ions.
- The dative Sn—N bonds are longer than the covalent Sn—O bonds.
- The structure features a linear chain motif due to water molecules connecting the tin-bearing molecules.
Takeaway
Scientists looked at a special tin compound and found it has a unique shape that helps it connect with water molecules.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by reacting sodium quinoline-2-carboxylate with methylphenyltin dichloride in toluene.
