Dichlorido{1-[N-(5-chloro-2-oxidophenyl)carboximidoyl]naphthalen-2-olato- κ 3 O,N,O′}(methanol-κO)tin(IV)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Sn(C 17H 10ClNO 2)Cl 2(CH 3OH)], the Sn IV atom features a distorted octa-hedral geometry defined by the O,N,O′-donors of the dianion, two Cl atoms and the methanol O atom. The six-membered chelate ring has a half-chair conformation with the Sn atom lying 0.449 (4) Å out of the plane defined by the remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0238 Å). Supramolecular helical chains along [100], mediated by O - H⋯O hydrogen bonds, feature in the crystal packing. Chains are linked by C - H⋯O, C - H⋯Cl and π-π [centroid-centroid distance = 3.598 (2) Å] interactions.
