Hydrogen bonding in substitutionally disordered di-μ-hydroxido-bis{aquatri[bromido/chlorido(1/2)]tin(IV)} acetone disolvate
The structure of the title compound, [Sn2Br1.97Cl4.03(OH)2(H2O)2]·2C3H6O, contains two hexacoordinated Sn atoms bridged symmetrically by two hydroxide groups, with an inversion center in the middle of the planar Sn2O2 ring, half of the molecule being generated by inversion symmetry. The other sites of the distorted octahedral coordination geometry are occupied by halide atoms and water molecules. The structure exhibits substitutional disorder of the halide atoms bonded to the Sn atom, with 0.672 (4) occupancy for Cl and 0.328 (4) for Br for each halide position. The compound crystallizes with two acetone molecules, which are involved in intra- and intermolecular O—H⋯O contacts. The water molecules coordinated to the Sn atoms are also involved in O—H⋯O and O—H⋯X contacts, leading to a polymeric array along the a axis
Di-μ-chlorido-bis[chloridobis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)tin(II)]
The structure of the title compound, [Sn2Cl4(C2H6OS)4], contains dimers formed through weak Sn...Cl [3.691 (2) Å] interactions, resulting in a planar Sn2Cl2 core with an inversion center at the centre of the four-membered ring. The SnII atoms are pentacoordinated and have a distorted octahedral Ψ-SnCl3O2 coordination geometry. The O atoms from the dimethyl sulfoxide molecules occupy trans positions, while the Cl atoms exhibit a meridional arrangement
