Abstract

The structure of the title dimethyltin(IV) complex, [2-(5-bromo-2-oxidobenzylideneamino)benzoato-kappa3O,N,O']dimethyltin(IV), [Sn(CH(3))(2)(C(14)H(8)BrNO(3))], features centrosymmetric dimers disposed about a central Sn(2)O(2) core. Each Sn centre has seven-coordinate pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry, taking into account two moderately long Sn-O contacts about an inversion centre [2.679 (4) and 2.981 (4) A]. The methyl groups are in an axial orientation.
