Abstract

The molecular and crystal structure of the title complex (I) obtained by addition of tin fluoride in a hydrofluoric acid solution to 18-crown-6 in methanol was investigated by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 13.497(3), b = 7.806(2), c = 9.892(2) Å, β = 95.57(3)°, Z = 2 for C12H32F4O10Sn. In the polymer chain, the crown ether molecules alternate with the inorganic complexes [trans-SnF4(H2O)2] and are linked to them by O-H...O type hydrogen bonds involving the intermediate water molecules. The weak C-H...F interactions bind the chains into the layers which are parallel to the xz plane.
