Abstract

In the dinuclear title complex, [Sn(2)(CH(3))(4)(C(7)H(3)F(2)O(2))(4)], the Sn(IV) atom is chelated by two 3,5-difluoro-benzoate (dfb) anions and coordinated by two methyl groups while an O atom from the adjacent dfb anion bridges the Sb atom with a longer Sb-O bond distance of 2.793 (4) Å. The complex mol-ecule has 2 symmetry and the Sn(IV) atom is in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds.
