Abstract

The title stannoxane is a toluene-solvated dimer, [Sn₄(C₇H₆Cl)₈Cl₂O₂(OH)₂]·C₇H₈, the tetranuclear molecule lying across a center of inversion. The Sn₄O₄ framework, whose two independent Sn atoms show trigonal bipyramidal coordination, is essentially planar (r.m.s deviation = 0.02 Å). One of the two chlorobenzyl groups of the chloridodiorganyltin unit is disordered over two positions with the chlorophenyl residue refined over two positions in a 50:50 ratio. The solvent molecule is disordered about a twofold axis.
