Conclusion
The study presents the structure of a tin complex that features a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment.
Supporting Evidence
- The tin atom is coordinated by three methyl groups and two oxygen atoms from ligands.
- The structure shows positional disorder in one of the nitro groups.
- The closest intermolecular interaction is a weak hydrogen bond.
Takeaway
Scientists studied a tin compound that has special shapes and bonds, which could help in making new medicines.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by reacting sodium salt of 3,5-dinitro-o-toluic acid with trimethyltin chloride in dry chloroform, followed by recrystallization from DMSO.
