cis-Di­bromo- trans-di­methyl- cis-bis( N, N-di­methyl­acet­amide)­tin(IV).

The synthesis and X-ray structure analysis of the title compound, [SnBr₂(CH₃)₂(C₄H₉NO)₂], are described. The crystal contains mol­ecules which are separated by normal van der Waals distances. Organotin(IV) compounds are found in a variety of structural types, in which the Sn atom can, for example, be hexacoordinated. In this case, the preferred solid-state molecular structure of the central atom is octahedral. The degree of distortion and the configuration depend on the ligands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
