Conclusion
The study reveals the molecular structure of a tin compound with a dithiocarbamate ligand, showing tetrahedral coordination and helical supramolecular chains.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound features a tetrahedrally coordinated Sn atom.
- The dithiocarbamate ligand coordinates in a monodentate fashion.
- The crystal structure shows helical supramolecular chains along the b axis.
Takeaway
The researchers looked at a special tin compound and found that it has a unique shape and structure that connects in a spiral way.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized using an in situ method involving the addition of carbon disulfide to an ethanolic solution of N-butylphenylamine, followed by the addition of triphenyltin(IV) chloride.
