Abstract

The crystal structure of a tin-rich heterometallic supramolecular product, [CuSn8(C5HF6O2)2(C 5H2F6O4)4] or [Sn 4(hfpt)2-Cu(hfac)2-Sn4(hfpt) 2], (I), is reported (hfpt is the tetraanion of 1,1,1,5,5,5- hexafluoropentane-2,2,4,4-tetraol and hfac is the anion of 1,1,1,5,5,5- hexafluoropentane-2,4-dione). Reaction between tin(II) tetraolate, [Sn 4(hfpt)2], and copper(II) β-diketonate, [Cu(hfac)2], was utilized for the preparation of (I). The asymmetric unit consists of the whole [Sn4(hfpt)2] unit and half of a [Cu(hfac)2] unit, with the Cu atom lying on an inversion center. Intermolecular Cu...O interactions from the axial positions of copper in [Cu(hfac)2] and O atoms of the hfpt ligand in [Sn4(hfpt) 2] mediate the formation of a sandwich-type structure for (I). Additional intermolecular Sn...O interactions between neighbouring [Sn 4(hfpt)2] units complete a two-dimensional network.
