Dichlorido[2,4-dimethyl-N-(pyridin-2-ylÂmethylÂidene)aniline-Îş2 N,N′]dimethylÂtin(IV)
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Sn(CH3)2Cl2(C14H14N2)], contains two crystallographically independent molÂecules. In each molÂecule, the SnIV atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octaÂhedral geometry by one bidentate 2,4-diÂmethyl-N-(pyridin-2-ylÂmethylÂidene)aniline ligand, two methyl groups and two Cl atoms. In the crystal, interÂmolecular C—Hâ‹ŻCl hydrogen bonds link the molÂecules. There are π–π contacts between the pyridine rings of the ligands [centroid–centroid distance = 3.761 (4) Å]
