The crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn3(CH3)9Cl(NO3)], contains trigonal–bipyramidal Sn atoms with three methyl groups bonded in the equatorial plane and an O atom of the NO3 group and a Cl atom in the axial sites. The Cl atom, which lies on a threefold axis, is bridged between three Sn atoms, with Sn—Cl distances of 2.9298 (13) Å. The N atom of the NO3 group also lies on a threefold axis, with its O atoms bonded to three Sn atoms. Thus, polymeric sheets are formed parallel to the ab plane.

Comment top

The synthesis and structural chemistry of organotin compounds are fertile areas of research because of their extensive biological and pharmaceutical applications (Anderson et al., 1984). The biological applications of organotin compounds as antitumour and anticancer agents (Gielen, 1994; de Vos et al., 1998) have been well documented. We report here the crystal structure of the title compound (I), in a continuation of our efforts in the synthesis and structural characterization of organotin complexes (Shahzadi et al., 2006). The polymeric structure of (I) which contains trigonal bipyramidal Sn atoms is shown in Fig. 1. The Sn atom is bonded to three methyl groups in equatorial positions with Sn—C distances in the range of 2.127 (9)–2.138 (11) Å. In the axial direction, the Sn atom is bonded to a nitrate O atom and a Cl atom. The nitrate N and the Cl atoms each lie on 3-fold axes. The structure forms polymeric sheets parallel to the ab plane, Fig. 1 and 2.

Experimental top

4-Hydroxy piperidine (1 mmol) and trimethyltin chloride (1 mmol) were suspended in dry methanol (150 ml) in a round bottom two necked flask. The mixture was stirred at room temperature. Solid product obtained was filtered off and recrystallized from chloroform to obtain colourless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis (yield 80°; m.p. 59 °C).

Refinement top

Methyl H atoms were included in calculated positions using the riding method, with C—H distances of 0.96 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) and torsion angles optimized to give the best fit to the electron density.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F^2^ against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The threshold expression of F^2^ > σ(F^2^) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
