Dichlorobis(pyridine-kappa N)bis(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl-kappa C(1))tin(IV).
In the title compound, [Sn(C(3)H(4)F(3))(2)Cl(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)], the Sn atom lies on an inversion centre and is octahedrally coordinated by two Cl atoms, two trifluoropropyl groups and two N atoms in an all-trans configuration. The electronegative trifluoropropyl groups increase the electrophilic properties of the Sn atom, and the Sn[bond]Cl and Sn[bond]N bonds are shortened in comparison with those reported for analogous compounds.
