Crystal structure of tetraphenyltin
Abstract
Crystals of tetraphenyltin, Ph4Sn, are tetragonal, a= 12·058(1), c= 6·568(1)Å, Z= 2, space group P21c. The structure was determined with Cu-Kα diffractometer data by Patterson and full-matrix least-squares methods, the final R being 0·078 for 366 independent reflexions. The molecule has symmetry, with mean dimensions Sn–C = 2·14, C–C = 1·41 Å, C–Sn–C = 109·5°.
