Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine oxide)tin(II)

The title compound, [SnCl₂(C₁₈H₁₅OP)₂] or SnCl₂.2TPPO (TPPO is triphenylphosphine oxide), has been found to be a four-coordinate tin(II) complex by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The distorted axial arrangement of the two TPPO ligands and the equatorial disposition of the two chlorines around tin(II) are confirmed.
