Dichloridooctakis(2-chlorobenzyl)di-μ2-hydroxido-di-μ3-oxido-tetratin(IV)

The title tetranuclear SnIV compound, [Sn4(C7H6Cl)8Cl2O2(OH)2], has site symmetry overline{1}. Two O2− and two OH− anions bridge four SnIV cations to form the tetranuclear compound. The two independent SnIV cations assume SnO3C2 and SnO2C2Cl distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometries. Intramolecular O—H...Cl hydrogen bonding is present in the structure. One Cl atom of a chlorobenzyl ligand is disordered over two sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.693 (2):0.307 (2).
