“…Such a trend away from TBP geometry can also be observed by examining the bond angles subtended by O(4) on the equatorial plane. The angles O(4)eSn(2)eC (19), O(4)eSn(2)eC (20) and O(4)e Sn(2)eCl(6) are 79.97 (16), 82.74 (16) and 77.47 (7) , respectively, are all much lower than the expected 90 for a regular TBP geometry. However, at the other apex of the bipyramid, Cl(5) subtends much larger angles; the angles Cl(5)eSn(2)eC (19), Cl(5)eSn(2)eC (20) and Cl(5)eSn(2)eCl(6) are 101.02(15), 101.05 (14) and 94.67(4) , respectively.…”
