Di-n-but-yl{1-[1-(2-hydroxy-phen-yl)ethyl-idene]-5-[1-(2-oxidophen-yl)ethyl-idene]thio-carbazonato-κO,N,S}tin(IV).

The 'symmetrical' 1,5-bis-[1-(2-hydroxy-phen-yl)ethyl-idene]thio-carbazone Schiff base condenses with dibutyl-tin oxide to form the title complex, [Sn(C(4)H(9))(2)(C(17)H(16)N(4)O(2)S)], in which the deprotonated ligand O,N,S-chelates to the Sn atom of two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. The ligand bears a formal negative charge on the S and one O atom; the other O atom retains its H atom. The Sn atoms are five-coordinated in a cis-C(2)NOSSn trigonal-bipyramidal environment, and the apical sites are occupied by the O and S atoms. In both mol-ecules, the hydr-oxy group is hydrogen bonded to a double-bonded N atom, generating a six-membered ring. The amino group is a donor to the coordinated O atom of an adjacent mol-ecule, the hydrogen-bonding inter-action giving rise to a helical chain running along the b axis. In one of the independent mol-ecules, the atoms of one of the n-butyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites with equal occupancy. In the other independent mol-ecule, the atoms of both n-butyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites with equal occupancy and, in addition, the Sn and S atoms were also refined as disordered over two sets of sites with equal occupancy.

In the title compound, C(17)H(18)N(4)O(2)S·H(2)O, the thio-urea derivative is almost planar, with an r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms of 0.057 Å. The hydroxyl groups lie to the same side of the mol-ecule as the thione S atom, a conformation that allows the formation of intra-molecular O-H⋯S and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, the thio-urea and water mol-ecules self-assemble into a two-dimensional array by a combination of O(water)-H⋯O(hydrox-yl), N-H⋯O(water) and O(water)-H⋯S hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

n-Butyl-dichlorido(2-{(1E)-1-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazin-1-yl-idene]eth-yl}phenolato)tin(IV).

Two independent mol-ecules comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Sn(C(4)H(9))(C(13)H(12)N(3)O)Cl(2)]. The Sn atom in each is coordinated by the tridentate ligand via the phenoxide O, hydrazine N and pyridyl N atoms, forming five- and six-membered chelate rings. The approximately octa-hedral coordination geometry is completed by the α-C atom of the n-butyl group (which is trans to the hydrazine N atom) and two mutually trans Cl atoms. Differences between the mol-ecules are evident in the relative planarity of the chelate rings and in the conformations of the n-butyl groups [C-C-C-C = 177.2 (5) and -64.4 (11)°]. Significant differences in the Sn-Cl bond lengths are related to the formation of N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules comprising the asymmetric unit into dimeric aggregates. These are consolidated in the crystal packing by C-H⋯Cl contacts. The structure was refined as an inversion twin; the minor twin component is 37 (3)%.
