“…Molecules of the general formula R 2 Sn(O 2 CR′) 2 (OH 2 ) are based on a pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry with the chelating carboxylate ligands and water molecule contributing O atoms to the pentagonal plane, and the tin-bound organic substituents occupying axial positions. This is the common motif as found in (c-C 6 H11) 2 Sn(O 2 CMe) 2 (OH 2 ) [7] and several other examples reported over the years [8][9][10][11][12][13]. While it is normal for new structural motifs to occur when potential N-donor atoms are incorporated in the carboxylate ligand [6], this was not the case for (4-ClC 6 H4CH 2 ) 2 Sn(O 2 CC5H4N-3) 2 (OH 2 ) [14], which was found to adopt the common structural motif.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
