title: Di-μ-methanolato-κO:O-bis[tri-chlorido(dimethyl-formamide-κO)tin(IV)].
abstract: The title compound, [Sn(2)(CH(3)O)(2)Cl(6)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)], contains two hexa-coordinated Sn(IV) atoms symmetrically bridged by two deprotonated methanol ligands, with an inversion center in the middle of the planar Sn(2)O(2) ring. The other sites of the distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry of the Sn(IV) atom are occupied by three Cl atoms and one O atom from a dimethyl-formamide mol-ecule. The complex mol-ecules are connected by weak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional supra-molecular network parallel to (10).
