Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (CH_2)_3(3,5-Me_2Pz)_2. [PhBr_2Sn(CH_2)SnBr_2Ph].2HBr.H_2O (Pz=pyrazole)

The reaction of bis(dibromophenylstannyl)methane with 1, 3-bis(3, 5-dimethyl- pyrazol-1-yl)propane in a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio yields only 1:1 adduct which partly hydrolyzes to the title complex (C26H38Br6N4O2Sn2, Mr = 1155.42) during crystal growing. The title complex is of triclinic, space group P with a = 10.886(1), b = 12.508(1), c = 13.879(1) ? = 85.762(2), = 85.159(2), = 84.020(2)? V = 1868.8(4) ?, Z = 2, Dc = 2.046 g/cm3, (MoK) = 0.71073 ? = 7.778 mm-1, F(000) = 1088, R = 0.0488 and wR = 0.1157 for 7560 observed reflections with I ≥ 2(I). The crystal structure analysis indicates that there is no direct interaction between the ligand and bis(dibromophenylstannyl)methane, and two tin atoms are bridged by two bromide atoms from the partial hydrolysis of this adduct.
