Crystal structure of a 1:1 adduct of triphenyltin chloride with 3-cyclohexhyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidin- 4-one

In the centrosymmetric (racemic) title compound, chlorido(3-cyclohexhyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one-κO)triphenyltin(IV), [Sn(C ₆ H ₅ ) ₃ Cl(C ₁₅ H ₁₉ NOS)], the tin(IV) atom exhibits a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry with the three phenyl groups in equatorial positions and the chloride anion and ligand oxygen atom present at axial sites [O - Sn - Cl = 175.07 (14) °]. The thiazolidinone ring of the ligand adopts an envelope conformation with the S atom as the flap. The dihedral angles between the heterocycle ring plane (all atoms) are 44.3 (9) ° with respect to the pendant C-phenyl plane and 34.3 (11) ° to the N-cyclohexyl ring (all atoms). The C-phenyl and N-cyclohexyl ring are close to orthogonal to each other, with a dihedral angle of 81.1 (4) ° between them. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C - H· · ·Cl hydrogen bonds to generate [001] chains.
