Synthesis and structure of 1 : 1 complex of dimethyltin dichloride with meso-1,2-bis(α-diethoxyphosphorylbenzylamino)ethane

Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. The complex is polymeric, the ligand coordinating in a bridging mode via two phosphoryl groups. The coordination environment at tin is octahedral with two methyl groups, two chlorine and two oxygen atoms occupying trans positions.
