Abstract

The molecule of I2PhSnCH2CH2CH2CH2SnPhI2 (1) in the solid state, is centrosymmetric with the molecular center-of-symmetry coincident with a crystallographic center-of-symmetry. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group,P21/c (Z=2), witha=13.495(1) Å,b=6.844(1) Å,c=14.732(1) Å, and β=116.12(2)o. The compounds consist of essentially individual molecules, separated by I(2)---I(2i) and I(2)---I(2ii) distances [4.258(12) Å], close to the sum of the van der Waals radii. There are no interactions between the two diiodophenylstannyl moieties. The tin atoms have slightly distorted tetrahedral geometries, with the bond angles at tin varying from 103.40(3) [I(1)−Sn−I(2)] to 117.0(3)0 [C(1)−Sn−C(7)] and with Sn−I(1) and Sn−I(2) bond lengths of 2.6980(9) and 2.7106(10) Å, respectively.1H-,13C- and119Sn-NMR spectra in CDCl3 solution have also been obtained.
