Tribenzyl-chlorido(triphenyl-phosphine oxide-κO)tin(IV)

Abstract

In the title tribenzyl-chloridotin-triphenyl-phosphine adduct, [Sn(C 7H7)3Cl(C18H15OP)], the SnIV atom is in a trans-C3SnClO trigonal-bipyramidal geometry and is displaced out of the C3Sn girdle in the direction of the axial Cl atom by 0.112 (1) in one independent mol-ecule and by 0.167 (1) Å in the other. The phenyl ring of one of the six benzyl units was refined as equally disordered over two sets of sites.
