Abstract: The complex 1, [systematic name 1,2,3,4-di-μ2-hydroxyl-1,4-diacetic-1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4-octa-n-butyl-di-μ3-oxo-tetratin(Ⅳ)], [Sn4(C6H5)8(OH)2O2(CH3COO)2], was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction single crystal struscture analysis. The symmetric dimer with a hydroxy bridged ladder consists of a central Sn2O2 ring with two additional adjacent Sn2(OH)O four-membered rings. The Sn, O and OH atoms are approximately coplanar; the Sn atoms exhibit a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination configuration. The 2D layer is exhibited with chanels formed by the hydrogen-bonded (C-H…O). The antibacterial activity was preliminarily studied. CCDC: 666441. |
