Triphenyltin chloride forms with diphenyrcyclopropenone a 1/1 molecula
r complex belonging to the triclinic P ($) over bar 1 space group (a=1
0.267(4), b=12.095(2), c=12.319(3)Angstrom, alpha=90.67(2), beta=101.5
9(2), gamma=112.58(2)degrees). The tin atom exists in a distorted tran
s-trigonal bipyramidal (Sn-C=2.112(3), 2.123(3), 2.137(4), Sn-Cl=2.440
(1), Sn-O=2.510(2)Angstrom) geometry, being displaced out of the equat
orial plane (Sigma C-Sn-C=354.3(3)degrees) towards the apical chlorine
atom by 0.269(1)Angstrom.
