Diisobutylammonium triphenyl(2-thiolatoacetato-κ<sup>2</sup> <i>O</i>,<i>S</i>)stannate(IV)
Crystals of the title salt, (C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>20</sub>N)[Sn(C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>(C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S)], comprise diisobutyl-ammonium cations and mercapto-acetato-tri-phenyl-stannate(IV) anions. The bidentate binding mode of the mercapto-acetate ligand gives rise to a five-coordinated, ionic tri-phenyl-tin complex with a distorted <i>cis</i>-trigonal-bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom. In the crystal, charge-assisted ammonium-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen-bonding connects two cations and two anions into a four-ion aggregate. Two positions were resolved for one of the phenyl rings with the major component having a site occupancy factor of 0.60 (3).
