title: Tetra-iodido[methyl-enebis(diphenyl-phosphine oxide)-κO:O']tin(IV) chloro-form solvate.
abstract: The title compound, [SnI(4)(C(25)H(22)O(2)P(2))]·CHCl(3), crystallized from a chloro-form solution of SnI(4) and the diphosphine CH(2)(PPh(2))(2) exposed to air. The monomeric complex displays a distorted octa-hedral coordinaton for the tin(IV) atom with average Sn-I and Sn-O bond lengths of 2.79 (2) and 2.15 (1) Å, respectively.
