title: Poly[[aquadi-μ(3)-malonato-hexaphenyl-ditin(IV)] acetone solvate].
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric complex, {[Sn(2)=(C(6)H(5))(6)(C(3)H(2)O(4))(H(2)O)]·C(3)H(6)O}(n), comprises of two Sn cations, one malonate anion and a non-coordinating acetone solvent mol-ecule. Both crystallographically independent Sn cations are five-coordinated by two O and three C atoms in a distorted trigonal-bipyrimidal geometry. One of the Sn cations is bridged by the malonate units, affording polymeric chains which run along [001]. Weak intra-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions stabilize the mol-ecular structure. In the crystal structure, adjacent chains are inter-connected by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure. A weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-action is also observed.
